If possible, I would like to have one SVN repository for both src and doc/www so that user and project directories can be shared so that there is only one /user/rene. Another advantage of converting to SVN is that the docproj_nl stuff can go into /projects/docproj_nl on SVN so that there is no need for yet another VCS (p4 in this case) any longer.
