For the web pages I don't care. But for the sources I SVN does not solve one of our major problems: Multiple repositories.
With the Wiki the web page issue has solved.
So arch aka tla appears to be the sane way to go. It can act as a shared repository with multiple commiters. It also handles forks well. Arch among other things is drop dead simple to setup. Pretty much you need an ssh account that you can place all of your developers public keys in .ssh/authorized_keys. From there all of the logic happens remotely with sftp. Stefan can probably testify to that a little more than I can.
Either the authorized_key or a gate keeper can be used.
I am in the process of prototyping it internally to verify that everything works properly. I have already converted my internal linuxbios tree with 903 changesets. And have just started doing a little bit of development on it. So far all of the important cases involving multiple branches and multiple repositories seem to work and are relatively easy to handle.
after solving the usual python issues I have cscvs working nicely here as well. I am in the progress of setting up a tla version of the repository that is publicly available on openbios.org. It will also be fed into the repository browser viewarch
Which one are you using? I have: hun@n-dimensional.de--2005-public/cscvs--hun--1.2
Ron does this sound like something you would be willing to look at?
Let the public import finish and then have a look at the repository on openbios.org. There you can play and find out if you like it.
