    I always wondetred if we couldn't have this "pending" status on CP. The article is submitted through the submission wizard, and you can get it through a specific URL, but it is not included in the category list, front page, search, newsletter etc., it is not votable, and maybe allow feedback only through direct mail.

      When in doubt (about whether an article would be well-accepted), write it as a blog entry or multiple blog entries. And if it seems good to you (and you could also get feedback from peers), you can put the blog entries together and submit that as an article. One added benefit is that once you've got all the text written down (in the blog), the first article draft would be more polished than if you directly start off with the article.

      Thanks for the feedback. I've not done much blogging, to get the ball rolling should I start with the blog space provided here for me at CP and refer folks to it or go out on the net? The article I have in mind has several screen shots for the steps. I'm a visual kind of guy.:-D Should I include these in the blog?

          I've just finished installing and implementing Subversion and TortoiseSVN to company Windows servers and a few local machines. These are excellant tools BTW. In doing the research for completing tis task I had to search a few sites/articles(One from CP, thanks Hans Dietrich:)) but I never came across an article that explained the entire step by step process in one go, i.e. installing SVN, setting it up as a service, setting up initial repositories w/ SVN and TSVN, and uploading the initial source code. I've written a rough draft of some user documentation, and I was wondering if y'all think this would be worthy of addition to the CP library. I was thinking it would be good for beginners, like me, to have a step by step guide to using these very useful tools( I love the versioning, it makes for a much better programming environment). I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks,

            Very good advice - I've written a couple of articles that way. I actually didn't intend to write an article, but I noticed that I'd written a few blog entries on the same subject and the article just seemed to flow from there. I've got an article on LINQ and the language enhancements in the C# 3.0 compiler brewing at the moment. As you can probably see from most of this month's blog entries.

              Yes - It makes it much easier to follow.

                Obviously there's interest in the article idea from the replies you've had already. And the question comes up often enough in the Lounge as to what version control system someone should use, how they should set it up, what client they should use to access it, etc. code-frog usually points people to his own experiences here[^], but he's already admitted he should write an article on it. (You should beat him to the punch. ;)) It might also be helpful to put a short introductory section in there explaining why you picked Subversion over other source control systems, (Subversion rocks... 'nuff said.) as that seems to be a question asked quite frequently as well. If nothing else, I'd like it just so I could have a quick link to point people at when the question comes up again. ;)

                            Definitely, I came across one article here on setting up Subversion for a single developer and found it to be excellent but wished it had included a bit about setting up the services (which I've got running now) and multiple users which I shall need in the near future so definitely. :-D Sooner the better ;P

                              I would appreciate the article. I'm getting ready to set up the same thing at home.

                              This statement was never false.

                                Did you set it up as web-accessible repository? That's something I'm keen to try/learn. Also I'm trialling RapidSNV client... no windows shell integration, but I really suspect TSVN is slowing down my system with the icon overlays etc (and it crashed every now and then).

                                  A nice tidbit that seems to be lacking the documentation is how to optimize the overlays... uncheck everything on the page except "Fixed Drives" and add C:\* to your exclude paths... then if your local checkout is C:\source, add C:\source\* to your includes That seems to be the 99% rule of how most people setup their systems... of course if you have multiple drives, include them all in the exclude paths, and only include bonafide source directories. I've been using Tortoise SVN v1.4.3 and v1.3.8 constantly for about 2 weeks each now, on different machines (and networks) with both SVN and WebDAV repositories, even over a VPN... and haven't had the first hiccup.

                                  ============================= I'm a developer, he's a developer, she's a developer, Wouldn'tcha like to be a developer too?
