CK -

My experience is probably more embarrassing than helpful.  I apparently
originally used the "import" function rather than the "checkout" function.  No id
or password was required for the checkout.  It appears one is needed to import
(which seems to be a check back in with changes).  I just used the rapidsvn gui
interface to svn (both loaded via Syntatics on my Ubuntu 7.10), chose (red face
here) the checkout option from the repository menu dropdown, entered your URL for
the source and a destination folder I had created earlier.  Worked like a charm
at that point.  Dumb user.....

Relative to the need for governance:
Your repository is useful now as sort of a recommended subset of the Euphoria
archive.  If it is ever graduated to an "official" set of include files, it would
seem that some control mechanism would be needed.

In that case, there should be some attempt to eliminate duplication, make naming
standard, and provide global documentation of some sort.  No hurry on this!

Thanks!
