[Laszlo-dev] contributors?

[Jim Grandy]

I'll expand on this by saying is my expectation that we will be able  
to make svn read/write (and start more directly supporting external  
contributors) within the next two months. We've done a lot of the  
foundational work already, so in theory we're pretty close.
