[ciapug] Subversion for Web Dev SCM

[David Champion]

I think what most people do in this case is to check out the current 
version from the repository into a web accessable location.

Developers can either be set up to check out and work on the projects on 
their local machines, if you have that capability, or put them into a 
developer-specific location on the server, like their home dir.
