Hi Lois,
That's an interesting project indeed! Good luck with it!
For bzr branches, you can use launchpad hosting as well - see Help tab at
https://code.launchpad.net/ .

> Mnemosyne is a project that allows for revision controlled home

> integration with Nautilus for easy reverting back to previous versions and
> finding differences between files. It also includes a graphical program that
> allows for configuring the program such as choosing a different version
> control system such as SVN. It also includes a command line program that
> allows for configuration, and usage of the application so that it can be
> used on systems such as ubuntu-server that have no GUI. The project is
> mostly coded in Python with a little of C++ if it needed to interface with
> another application.

> Martin Pitt who is my mentor asked me to also post my tentative schedule
> for the project here. So here it is:
>
> Tentative Schedule:
> Until May 25: Set up bzr as well as SVN to work under the /home directory
> as well as the /etc directory. Look at any problems that occur and
> find/discuss solutions with the community.
> May 25– May 31: Make a proper design for all the applications/prototype.
> June 1 – June 15: Write the daemon and create test suites.
> June 16 – June 30: Write the command line interface and fix any problems
> that show up in the integration.
> July 1 – July 9: Create .deb packages. Fix any issues that have cropped up
> and get community feedback. From that point on, .deb packages will be
> updated near daily.
> July 10- July 27: Create the GUI application. It will take time to make it
> user friendly. Integrate with Nautilus.
> July 27 – August 20: Create final .deb packages. Look at what can be done
> to make it part of the Ubuntu OS. Fix any issues that are found by the
> community.
>
> Thanks to all of you,
>
> Lois.
