I just re-read about the SVN project, and have tried setting up Web-DAV before (with older versions of Apache). Even though I have not used SVN, SVN is highly regarded (and started off as project to improve on CVS). I understand that Web-DAV support is more widespread and in recent 2.x Apache is also easier to setup. From my experience with CVS, it would serve you well. And the windows client TortoiseCVS[1] is just excellent, with right-click context-menu integration into Windows Explorer. This means that free-lancers who use tools like HomeSite (which hooks into Windows Explorer to show you a file-browser pane) are automatically integrated into CVS. Of course if there is anyone using Linux, then Cervisia[2] is a CVS gui client that works very well. SVN has TortoiseSVN [3] To avoid headaches and hassles if you are the lone geek, you may want to check for Application service providers who offer CVS / SVN server hosting for a monthly fee, then all you have to do is setup the clients and do the training. There is such a company here in NH, but I don't recall the name off the top of my head.
