I notice dev.xoops.org has now gone (blank page)?

I would like to suggest that developers use SVN while building/designing/debugging

RC and FINAL should be accessible in the xoops module repository for users in zip or rar format.

And when a project goes FINAL and someone finds a bug, it can be fixed by developers in svn and put back into the module repository

SF does not have descriptions, comments, etc.

THe module repository does, and it can be a useful and powerful tool for users

IMHO!

XOOPS SVN is nice and as far as official modules and such good, it's a good choice to work out of there. However, I hate Subversion with nearly every fiber of my being. Since this is a public forum, I can't effectively express this sentiment.

In the last year, I started using GitHub for my code repositories with SourceTree as my client of choice.

As far as the module repository goes, I'd like to be able to edit my own uploads in the repository as they get updated. While the downloads have always pointed back to my own site, the descriptions are a touch stale here. :)

I agree

But I think modules should be in the module repository with a full description, credits, etc. and I like to download directly from SF

If TDM Downloads can do it why can't Xoops.org?
