weekly news - 20050429

Hi!

Here's the latest weekly news edition!

=====================================================================

Gooday all!

Just a short weekly in which I announce that all sourcecode was moved
from CVS to subversion. There are mostly benefits for developers here
and we took the time to reorder the repositories, but the user will
see some of it as well. 

One of the things is anonymous access is available through DAV access.
This allows would-be developers and interested people to track behind
the scenes what is happening around certain sub-projects. For more
information please contact us or join #lunar on irc.freenode.net. More
info will be available later on the website as we finish stuff related
to this change.

This also means that the RSS feed and the 'latest updates' block on the
website was changed. The links in there will refer you straight to the
webSVN frontend BTW, so feel free to browse around in there.

I'm also starting to push out code for the lunar ISO. Some of it is
available through webSVN so if you have a lot of time, 2 separate PC's
and patience, then please talk to me about obtaining a copy of the working
code. Please note that you MUST run a fully-standard 2.4 box in order to
help out testing on this ISO. People with a 2.6 kernel need to wait
some more.
