Welcome to Elgg's documentation

From Elgg Documentation

Subversion is an open source application for revision control. Also commonly referred to as svn or SVN, Subversion is designed specifically to be a modern replacement for CVS and shares a number of the same key developers. (Wikipedia.)

We use Subversion to manage Elgg's code, and you can always find the very latest version of Elgg in our repository. Anyone can download it, but be warned - because it's the very latest work-in-progress Elgg, there may be bugs!

Our Subversion address is:

   https://svn.elgg.org/elgg/devel/

We also maintain a Subversion repository for plugins (if you're developing an Elgg plugin and would like write access, drop us a line). This can be found at:

   https://svn.elgg.org/plugins/ 

There is a new issue tracker and web browseable interface to the subversion repository. Tarball archives for plugins are atdownloaded and contain a daily snapshot.

If you're on a Windows system and want to check out files regularly, we highly recommend the excellent TortoiseSVN. Mac users might want to try SCPlugin, which integrates nicely with the Finder.
