Subversion for the IADB

I will be making some changes to the IADB so that it works with tighter PHP security and from within the GridSphere portlet bridge.

So that more than one person can work on the IADB (historically it has only had one developer) the obvious thing to do is use some kind of revision control. We have been using Subversion (SVN) as the logical successor to CVS within our research group so I have created an SVN repository on the VERA project server. It is accessible via both SSH and HTTPS so it can be used remotely.

Under advisement from a friend I am recommending that the Windows-based developers check out Tortoise SVN which is an SVN plugin for Windows Explorer.
