For svn, why not just go directly with svn.haiku-os.org? Is it currently
being used?
For the website and Trac, is it not possible to just create a test
subdomain for each of their respective VMs (ie., testweb.haiku-os.org
and testdev.haiku-os.org? Once those two installations are tested and
known to be running OK, then the DNS settings can be modified to point
to them. Or am I missing something? :)

It would still be convenient if those working on the new server had
access to the DNS settings; that way, you would not have to rely on
somebody across the ocean on a different time zone for a change that may
be required right away. Redundancy is this case is good IMO. ;)
