People weren't asking for a playground area. They were asking for an=20
official area where they could develop their applications. And there were=20
technical arguments in my other email (point #2: scripty, EBN and=20
Coverity).

Setting up a playground area is easy. But the users of that area must be=20
aware that it may be erased and reset at any time -- just like=20
svn.kde.org was before we did the final switch.

=46or one thing, I think it would be interesting to have git.kde.org and=20
hg.kde.org[1] with the history for a couple of modules, just so that we=20
can play with the tools and learn them. And also to find the conversion=20
mistakes and help the tools' developers in fixing their bugs -- like we=20
did to Subversion.

That's a playground area.
