[Abdullah Mancy]

Der wert and Jason Handby,

thanks for sharing your suggestions, i'm going to use Subversion this will
save time for sure.

about your caution Jason, we are small team will start developing
projects together and randomly selecting tasks is considered. and i think
little documention wont make things worse :)
