SVN isn't significantly different from CVS (just better). There are several
clients available (see at bottom of

repository. I don't think that it should be on the CollabNet infrastructure
since we cannot implement cronjobs there to make nightly PDF builds.
Telascience.org might be a (interim) solution.
