Hi, sounds very reasonable to me. The only potential problem that i see is the flat hierarchy (resp. naming scheme) of the branches and tags. It seems that this folder would populate quite fast and might quickly become a mess. On the
true. a better idea would probably be that each package gets its folder where releases can be put into, e.g.: /tags/zexy/zexy-2.1/
the reason for the flat hierarchy was, that deep hirarchies often tend to confuse more than not, at least if several unorganized people are involved (like we are): while more scrolling is involved in the flat hierarchy (seemingly more of a mess), inhierarchical structures it might eventually turn out that we have /tags/foo-1.0 but /tags/externals/bar/bar-2.0, which makes bar-2.0 much harder to find in relation to foo-1.0
Clearly the hierarchy should be as shallow as possible, on the other hand i always like the idea of sandboxes where each of the unorganized people can mess around on a micro-scale, while it stays macroscopically organized. Tags and branches like /tags/project/project-0.0 seem to be a good compromise.
Btw., where would the svn repository be located?
i think there are currently no real objections against staying at sourceforge (at least, i had planned to put it there; just for the sake of all the developers already having an account there (and knowing their passwords))
True, sounds good.
