Plans for Xubuntu documentation

We don't use version names/numbers in our directory structure. We have a
branch in the repository for each release
(https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/branches/) and trunk for the
development of docs for the next release
(https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk/, in this case gutsy).

So you should work on trunk/xubuntu as the top level directory.

I don't have a problem with arranging svn access for you both on the
basis that you will be working on xubuntu documentation as long as:

(a) Cody and Luzi both agree;
(b) You promise to always use the validation tool before committing
files to ensure that you're always uploading valid docbook!
