I'll explain something about the server requirements.
For speed and niceness there is a KDE repository maintained on the server.
The server software uses the local repository to get the commit logs,
statistics and diffs. The subversion repository is updated by rsync:
rsync -zva --timeout=3600 --delete rsync.kde.org::svnmirror .
. being where you want it. Note that rsync will make the destination an exact
copy of the source, including deleting anything that doesn't belong. It is a
good way to clear out your home directory of unwanted important files. Yes
I've learned this the hard way.
The command has to be repeated until a correct svn repository is copied. The
source is a live repository that changes with new commits, so the rsync can
produce a copy that isn't valid. Repeat the command until the svn commands
work.
The mirror is updated for each issue. Usually thursday evening or friday
morning local time. If a commit is selected that is later than the
repository, it won't show up in the Digest. That is why it is important to
establish a cutoff a few days before publishing.
The statistics are from Wednesday to Wednesday. I run this command to find the
beginning and end revision numbers:
svn log -r {2005-08-24} file:///kde_svn
svn log -r {2005-08-31} file:///kde_svn
We could use revision numbers as our cutoff as opposed to some difficult to
synchronize time.
We could individually run the log command on anonsvn.kde.org to find the
cutoff revision number.
svn log -r {2005-08-24} svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde
Another minor issue. I've had the convention of publishing friday, so the
issue dates have always been the friday of that week. We did differently this
last issue, but maybe we could stick to that. This coming issue would be
sep22005.

is the link to the Kolab setup. Let me investigate a bit further to see if
this would work for us. Don't some of us use webmail interfaces?
