OSL is willing to host the Boost Subversion repository. We already have a Subversion server for all of our internal projects and all of the computing power and bandwidth that we would need.
Good to hear!
As I think we've discussed before, we need to plan a significant time for this conversion. I'd say 30 days as a minimum conversion period to allow everyone time to get/learn the new tools etc. Yes, several of us did some testing in Jan when we discussed this last, but that was hardly everyone. I'd say we need a 'conversion manager' to work out a detailed schedule and manage the process of setting up a beta repository for experimentation, etc.
I believe you're overly cautions. Take as example the biggest project ever switched to Subversion -- KDE. There were no real problems after the switch. As user interface of Subversion is almost the same as in CVS. GUI clients is the only issue I see. - Volodya
