I can't answer this one... Doug?
These are internal projects, mainly, so they have fewer users than Boost. There are some big users of subversion listed on their propaganda page: http://subversion.tigris.org/propaganda.html I think we can be reasonably assured that the Subversion software can handle the Boost repository. Your second question was whether OSL has the resources and capabilities to manage such a repository. I can't give you a definitive "yes" on that without having tried it. However, I can say that Boost is important at OSL, so turnaround time on problems should be much better than with Sourceforge, where we're just one of 94,673 projects. And since we use subversion for other projects, a broken Boost repository probably means a broken repository for anything else; we're not going to allow work to grind to a halt for the whole lab. Doug
