I did write a simple howto, but it is too complicated.
they are used to using graphical user interfaces, so if you start telling
them some simple commandline stuff, they think it is complicated and they
get confused.

Our project is at its end, so we won't fix that now.
But I started working on my laptop with everything checked out using scmproj
a while ago, and our Technical Lead, also wants to start using that.
(BTW, I'm not a svn expert and glad to be. but do you think its possible to
do the multicomponent magic of scmproj with svn (without scmproj))

The problem is our project has too many dependencies, which is a lot of
effort to install:
Oracle (its handy to use Oracle XE on your laptop then you can work
anywhere)
php compiled with oracle bindings,
tomcat, jboss, apache.
