Yes, we could do a lot more with this than we do at the moment.

The ideas floating around about using SVN/git are interesting. I wouldn't want 
to force a new contributor to have to learn those first, but accessing stuff 
from either via a web interface is easy and those who are comfortable with it 
could handle uploading stuff.

If we go down that route, I'd still like the wiki to be some kind of front-
end, with links to the relevant resources (or at least areas) in the cvs.

It would be good to have a small focussed sprint to concentrate on this one 
issue (sprints, including the last promo sprint, can suffer from trying to do 
too many things at once).

I wouldn't have time to organise such a thing until this Autumn at least and 
to be honest I'd rather someone else took care of it since I did it last time 
- and it should be in a different venue, I think. We could also consider a 
virtual sprint where we all get together some weekend and work on this, but it 
can be harder to put the time aside when you're not physically away somewhere.

So perhaps we can ask:
- Who would be potentially interested in working at such a focussed sprint
- Where do you live (to give some idea of venues)
- Who could organise such a thing? You need:
-- to find a (free) venue
-- find cheap accommodation
-- harass people to tell you whether they will attend and their costs
-- propose it to the board
-- (ideally) give the attendees some guidance on how to get to the location

Cheers,
Stu
