Essence Engine, the thing that powers this site, and will eventually power my site, is undergoing open source development. If you want, you can screw with it. Here's the information you need to know:

* Essence Engine's sourcecode is hosted on The Ignition Project's Subversion server, which is located at http://svn.ignition-project.com/.

* Essence Engine also uses our Bugzilla. View open bugs for Essence Engine.

Please, feel free to check out a copy and play with it.

Question how do I checkout SVN items?
>.< I'm still used to CVS >.<

EDIT: Never mind I got it :$

I'll post instructions for everyone just in case.

First off, please note that TortoiseSVN is the most versatile Windows SVN client there is. Use it if possible. Also note that TortoiseSVN's behavior is different from standard SVN. Usually, a svn co repo-url/thing will check it out into ./thing. So if you were to check out Essence Engine:

svn co http://svn.ignition-project.com/repo/essence-engine/trunk/

you'd get a directory named "trunk" in the current directory.

TortoiseSVN doesn't do this. Check everything out in its own directory (make one on your hard drive).

That said, pretty much, all you need to know is this URL:

That is the trunk for the Essence Engine sourcecode. Pretty much that's all that's important. SVN is just easy like that. No more CVSROOT variables, no more -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs dot sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ignition. No more of not knowing what modules go where. And properties are a nice bonus too...

FYI: Commits elsewhere in The Ignition Project's SVN repository will bump the version numbers here due to SVN semantics. Ignore unchanged updates. It's a normal part of your workflow.

If you want write access, please contact me. The only people that I'll consider giving write access to already know how to contact me, so I'll leave it up to them to ask.
