+Howto SVN:
+----------
+For a more complete guide about this topic read the documentation
+avaiable at subversion.tigris.org.
 
+SVN (=subversion) is a version control program similar to CVS but
+newer. This program enables us to work all at the same program at 
+the same time - tricky.
 
+subversion checkout https://open.datacore.ch/pw/orxonox orxonox
+same as: subversion co https://open.datacore....
+
+this makes a directory orxonox at your current place in and gets
+the hole brand new source code from the server.
+
+now you can work. Remember to use 'svn copy instead of 'cp', 
+'svn mv' instead of 'mv', 'svn rm' instead of 'rm'... - you got it
+I think.
+After you have made your changes to the files enter
+svn status
+or with more details: svn status -vv
+which will show you the changes you did locally on your computer.
+svn diff
+is similar but shows you all the changes in detail.
+
+svn diff > patchfile
+the patchfile you can use later in conjunction with the patch program.
+You could, for example, email this patchfile to another developer for
+review or testing prior to commit.
+
+To add a new file type
+svn add <filename>
+and to publish all your changes type
+svn commit
+which will put all your changes to the orxonox server.
+
+If you accidently make a change you like to revert, you just can do this
+by typing:
+svn revert <filename>
+
