Added two new SVN committers: Dominic Arkwright (dom) and Grace Pastorelly (grace). They're contractors working on multilingual stuff for WiktionaryZ / WikiData; they'll be working in a branch for now.

Also, I've set up a restricted shell on the SVN server for most of the accounts. Please let me know if it breaks anything, or if you need an open shell to fiddle with something else on the server. (Currently Tim's got a full shell so that he can add new committer accounts if I'm unavailable.)
I spent some time poking around the web for nice, lightweight restricted shells with a convenient option for Subversion, but couldn't find anything that didn't look dreadful. So I whipped up a quick crappy one in Python:

As far as I know it should not be any less secure than the Subversion server program itself, though it might be buggy.

Hi Brion,
I guess you're busy, but I couldn't find any info on other places.
As Sourceforge's CVS service is really bad, and because we want to make the links to the general Mediawiki developers stronger, the Semantic Mediawiki project would like to move to the Mediawiki SVN and continue the SMW development there, in the extensions branch. It's four active developers as of now.
How do we proceed? Is there a formal way, or is it just informal? As said, I looked, but couldn't find info there.
Thanks for your time, denny

Sure, that could be fun. Send me SSH public keys and requested account names.

1) Which operating system are you using? 2) What is the exact command you entered when you got this error message? 3) Are you using an URL which includes the authentication bits, e.g. svn+ssh://grace@svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/mlmw/phase3 ?
Thanks, Erik

Sounds like you tried to use an http url; you need to use svn+ssh. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Subversion

ok, i tried with svn+ssh and i got this error: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). svn: Connection closed unexpectedly
