[abc] AOSD paper

Hi abc'ers.

This week we must do some serious work on the AOSD paper. Ganesh
has started it off, but we still have some content to add, and some
polishing to do. We need to submit the abstract on the 23rd and the
full paper on the 30th.

What I suggest is that Julian and Pavel (eager beavers who are currently
working as I write this) take a look over the paper, and make some
suggestions about what to do next. I would also like to build up a
point form list of points to be made in the intro. What is the paper
about, why is it important, what are the contributions of the paper,
and what is our happy story.

I include below the original instructions about subversion. If you
haven't gotten a password, then I don't think you can commit to it,
but I think that can be arranged. Until then Ganesh, Ondrej and I
can commit, so you can send us files to stick back into the
repository.

Cheers, Laurie

Subject: [abc] Subversion repository for papers

Hello abc people...

I've set up directories in the Subversion repository for work on the
abc papers. For each paper, I've put in the appropriate template and a
makefile that makes an empty paper and tech report. All we have to do
now is write the text! :)

To get a working copy, use the command:
    svn checkout URL
where URL is one of:
    https://svn.sable.mcgill.ca/sable/papers/aosd05abc/
    https://svn.sable.mcgill.ca/sable/papers/cc05abc/
    https://svn.sable.mcgill.ca/sable/papers/pldi05abc/

For now, you will not be able to check in your changes, but you can
already start making them. Marc will provide you with write passwords
for checking in changes very soon.

If you're unfamiliar with Subversion, it's very similar to CVS. Common
commands are:
svn help
svn up - update working copy with new changes from repository
svn add - add file(s) to the set that will go in the repository
svn stat - find out what you've changed and will submit
svn commit - submit changes to repository
svn diff - diff local copy of file(s) against repository copy
svn revert - undo all local changes to file(s)

The Subversion manual is available at:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

Also potentially useful is "The Top Ten Subversion Tips for CVS Users":

Please let me know if you have any problems.
