Doing minor things, sometimes related to infrastructure.
My plan is: To get Skencil up with a real infrastructure
and improve the changes to handle Thuban-Map-SVG nicely with 0.7.

Now I am getting to the infrastructure question.
When the name chance to Skencil was necessary, 
we planned getting more infrastructure up for development.
Some things were done: Web page are in CVS for a long time,
but finding somebody to help with them on a regular basis is going on.
Joonas improved the webpage structure, so it is a lot easier now.

Originally we wanted to move development completely on Savannah,
but then Savannah got cracked and service has not gotten up again.

So the plan now is to setup a Gforge 4 server at Intevation
and move Skencil there, because this will give us more control.
The machine is already there and Gforge 3.3 is running.
Because Gforge 4.0 just got released and it has Subversion support.
Its name will be wald.intevation.org.

Actually I was looking into version control systems
and if you are going to host your own version until wald is up,
I would recommend using monotone http://www.venge.net/monotone/.
Then I join your network.
