[wp-edu] Managing the WordPress System

[Thorp, Timothy]

Interesting...I thought more folks would be using SVN but it seems that
many use WP's built-in updater and several use Git. Neat. I/we have been
thinking of switching from SVN to Git. Perhaps this rebuild of the dev
server is the time to get on with it.

Thanks all for the feedback.
