It is easier for us to use code.google.com at this stage of development. It
is much faster than the grass svn especially the web-front-end. We can
accidentally smash it without harming the grass7/addons repository. Code
reviews can be requested and so on.

When the code is ready to be merged into grass7 (addons or trunk we are not
sure about that) the revision control history will be transferred as well,
since we are using subversion. As a side effect Thomas get familiar with
subversion and is able to use the grass7 repository in the future as well.

IMHO the discussion about grass7 development belongs into the trac wiki,
especially the development of specific parts of the GRASS GIS temporal
framework. Hence we have chosen the trac wiki. :)

Thomas will document this in detail when he implements the temporal algebra.
