I have initialised an SVN code repository for us to put our files/ 
documents into.  It is currently empty.  You will be able to copy  
things out of it without having to log in and can browse online:
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/journal

or command line:
svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/journal

After you check out the files, and then copy your new file into the  
appropriate subfolder and commit the file/changes back to the  
repository.  For example, say I have a myarticle.tex file from an  
author.  I will copy it into the svn folder structure and commit it  
back, along with a message about my new file, like this:

svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/journal
cd journal/volume_1
cp /tmp/myarticle.tex .
svn commit --username tmitchell --message "new article from John"  
myarticle.tex

You will need an OSGeo LDAP account before you can commit changes  
back.  Contact me privately is you need help setting up your account.

Next will now need to determine a naming convention for our files...  
any good ideas?
