Subversion Repository

MakingThings maintains a public Subversion Repository on SourceForge.net with all the code for the Make Controller Kit project. Anybody can look at, download, and modify the code as they please. The address of the repository is

https://makingthings.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/makingthings

Please file a new ticket with any patches or modifications that you would like to see integrated into the source tree.

Subversion is a source code management and version control system used to keep track of how the code has changed, who has changed it, and all sorts of other excellent things. To start playing with the code, you'll want to install a Subversion client and, most likely, a graphic front end. Check this list from Tigris for places to download Subversion itself, and this list from Wikipedia for programs that offer a graphical interface to SVN, making it much easier to use.

For Windows, TortoiseSVN is pretty much the gold standard. On OS X, svnX and SCPlugin are both kinda ok, and Linux has a vast majority of apps to choose from.

For info on how to use Subversion, Version Control with Subversion is a comprehensive and easy-to-understand guide and reference.
