In the next couple of days I am going to restore write access to SVN and install new versions of Jira and Confluence.

So I am going to create random new passwords for all WOLips committers and email them to the addresses used for Jira registration. Unfortunately there won't be a way for users to manage their SVN passwords, and anybody having problems will have to email me for a password reset. An alternative would've been setting up Atlassian Crowd, but I'd really like to limit the number of Java apps we run on the servers.

If any Jiras got created or code committed within that time, it likely got lost. Let me know if you indeed committed anything during that time and no longer see it. I *may* still find it, although chances are slim.
