What is SVN?

[JamminR]

Nice not overly technical article here

Simply .. its where we store our cutting edge non-officially released beta code. SVN allows us to work together as a programming team without mixing versions.
If you want stability, we don't recommend SVN.
If you want to use the latest features/fixes to released code, and assist in hunting bugs of non-released features, then by all means, use SVN and let us know when you find something not working right.
