We have set up a public source control
Subversion (SVN) repository.
You can online browse via http://colinux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/colinux/ to see any files,
view revisions and changelogs - simply, the whole history of coLinux.
Everyone can pull from this repository as read-only. Only developers can push changes.
