No, we'd have to do the preparation steps in a bit of a rush, but I think we 
should be able to switch more or less instantly. 

This would have to take place:

- send out a mail to haiku-development announcing the upcoming switch and 
  asking everyone to stop trying to commit anything to berlios
- Once I have received them from Axel, I add all haiku-commits subscribers to
  haiku-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and sync them with the .forward files of the
  respective users on svn.haiku-os.org
- fetch the apparently single missing commit r33411 from my local berlios 
  repo sync (from this night) and apply it manually to svn.haiku-os.org.
  Hopefully, this was indeed the last commit, otherwise it would get a bit 
  complicated to get the both repos back in synv once Berlios is back again, 
  but nothing unsolvable there.
- allow and test commits to our svn repo
- adjust dev.haiku-os.org to sync from svn.haiku-os.org
- change all references on haiku-os.org to the svn repo on berlios to point to
  svn.haiku-os.org
- send out a mail to haiku-development about the outcome of the switch

Additionally, we'd have to continuously monitor svn.berlios.de and - as soon 
as it becomes available again - login and disable commits.

If we switch now, several devs will not be able to commit to the new repo, as 
they failed to send me their ssh keys and/or ht-digests. But I'm pretty sure 
they'll hurry up to do so ...

So, shall we switch now? I suppose there's not really much we can lose by 
trying, is there?

cheers,
        Oliver
