Shouldn't we also include the server admins in this conversation to see
their view or would it be too early for that at this time?

If possible, I would like to have one SVN repository for both src and
doc/www so that user and project directories can be shared so that there
is only one /user/rene.

Another advantage of converting to SVN is that the docproj_nl stuff can
go into /projects/docproj_nl on SVN so that there is no need for yet
another VCS (p4 in this case) any longer.

René
