Hi Dimitri and Sven,

you should really read the core list ;) We discussed just the above and 
some people (including me) like to use svn and trac for TYPO3 
development, for exactly the reasons you mention above.

The only issues are:

1. We need some people to manage the repos and trac (Karsten, Peter and 
I have volunteered for this)
2. We need a server and bandwith (which probably is not too costly)
3. We need to import stuff, test and make things happen

I can only help with 1 and 3, but if someone provides 2, we can have a 
working test setup by the end of next week, promise.

Cheerio,
Michael
