Just a few weeks ago, I announced in this space the dotProject Files Module Update. The purpose of this update will allow your System Admin to replace the existing file system storage backend with Subversion for a more robust version control option. That said, I know Subversion isn't the only system out there…
If you are a dotProject user and would like to help make additional backends available, I need your input. More than that, I need your help. The only other system on my priority list is CVS but I know there are numerous other document management and version control systems out there that should be considered. Which ones are the most important to you? Which ones have you implemented? Which ones would you like to implement?

I'd like to put the people who have common interests/goals in touch to coordinate efforts. If we can get together on this one, I think we'll be able to serve as an example of Open Source collaboration and move dotProject forward. There's a relatively clean Interface for you to work against, a set of coding standard checks I have worked on, and if it's for a relatively mainstream system, I will ensure that it gets considered for core dotProject. For inclusion, it must be clean in terms of code and IP…
Personally, I'd love to have SharePoint support….
Being crossposted to the dotProject forums shortly…
