Hi Jacques Thank you for all the valuable information. I will save these and certailnly take a look at them again, when we're able to start.
Is there any documentation about setting up a development environment? I assume we should form the SVN Repository and extend from there? Are there any recommondations about what IDE to use, What unit testing tool is supported best and so on?
