&gt;CVS has been proposed, has the strong advantage of being built on

&gt;choice is PRCS (<A  HREF="http://www.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/~jmacd/prcs.html">http://www.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/~jmacd/prcs.html</A>), which
&gt;I also haven't used tho Xdelta
&gt;(<A  HREF="http://www.xcf.berkeley.edu/~jmacd/xdelta.html">http://www.xcf.berkeley.edu/~jmacd/xdelta.html</A>) certainly looks
&gt;interesting and fixes many of the RCS concerns.

I've looked a bit at PRCS and Xdelta... they're rather interesting, but
there isn't a whole lot of support out there for it yet, and it seems to
still be under development.

&gt;While I haven't worked with it yet (soon!), I'd be a lot more
&gt;tempted to go with BitKeeper (<A  HREF="http://www.bitmover.com/bitkeeper/">http://www.bitmover.com/bitkeeper/</A>).
&gt;Outside of Larry McVoy's backing (clever cookie:
&gt;<A  HREF="http://www.bitmover.com/lm/">http://www.bitmover.com/lm/</A>), the probability of its being used for
&gt;the Linux kernel etc, its coda-style distributed development
&gt;supports are designed VERY well.

I hadn't heard of BitKeeper until your mention above.  I looked over what
was there, and it looks really encouraging.  It too is still in
development, but seems a better horse to back, IMO.

&gt;Either way I have no problem with hosting a source repository on
&gt;Kanga,Nu, as well as more special-purpose mailing lists etc for this
&gt;effort.

Great!  I was going to suggest that had you not mentioned it. :)

Best,

Darrin
