I wouldn't feel comfortable setting up the initial repos, but I can do if no-one else (more experienced) is up for it.
maybe this is a chance to reorganize the structure of the externals +etc. a little bit?
I agree, that there should be a little cleanup going on, even as cleaning up in SVN is much easier than in CVS.
For example I would vote for dropping "abstractions" and merging it with "externals" to become a single "extensions" tree.
I think that cleaning up is a good idea, but I think the conversion is going to be complicated enough as it is. So I propose that we convert, then cleanup.
"abtractions", "extensions", and "externals" are pretty much redundant, so one "extensions" directory would make sense, making it :
doc extensions pd scripts
But I have to say, yes the CVS is messy, but it works more or less. And it would take a lot of work to clean it up. I'd rather have svn's easier branching and merging before a cleaned up repository. But if anyone wants to take on the cleanup project, I say go for it.
