Just to have a good summary / reminder of common things you'll encounter. We have our own quickstart page: http://subversion.apache.org/quick-start How about: - Putting a link at the bottom of that page (there is already a link to the quickstart section of the book), linking to the original webpage of the author. or - Incorporating (some of) the content of that cheatsheet directly on http://subversion.apache.org/quick-start, so it's right there in front of you ... The latter option would be my personal preference (putting my user / admin hat on) -- I like having short info right in front of me in the right place -- but obviously imposes some amount of doc-maintenance work on "us". Maybe someone on this list would be willing to take this doc-task (migrating the current content, and keep an eye on keeping it up to date)? -- Johan
