Martijn,
that is precisely what adds value to the project: designing an
Enterprise Content Management also means thinking about how to best
organize and to convey information, it is not simply about writing code.
If there are no collaboration spaces (apart from the mailing list) to
exchange ideas, to present sketches, design patterns, to put
documentation... how is this suppose to work? I want to be able to put
images, animations, concept maps online, publish information without
having to hack some HTML code each time with 'sftp'.

everyone is focussing on the svn, this only concerns the code...

regards
/JM
