General list
Meänkieli adaptions in our infrastructure.
Requirements:
- separate Subversion repository
- structured roughly as our main repository
- limited access to the closed repo, in the sense that one language group
- all tools, dtd's, configs work as in and from the main Subversion, such that
- we should have scripts that move a full language dir from one repo to the
- the amount of work for setting this up should be minimal, or we have to ask
Tentative task list
- figure out the svn dir structure in the closed lang repo, set it up
- figure out how to make the infrastructure in the open/main repo available for
- when we have an idea of the amount of work, decide whether we just do it, or
