Is it possible to display the SVN revision number in a view? I''d like for this to be done automatically and not something that I''d have to update each time the revision is updated. I know that it is kept in a .svn file or something, but I am curious if anybody out there has done something similar in the past. Thanks, Ryan -- Ryan Prins rprins@gmail.com http://www.lazyi.net

However, if I set the checked value to true and keep the disabled option, the value for the checkbox is not returned.

Another text field to define how many times that phrase is written to the DB It probably doesn''t make sense for it to be written to the DB x times, but this is the first step in a process and the passphrase will become unique.

I wrote to Richard Stallman about 18 months ago and told him about R, but I didn't get around to giving him a page about R. It would probably be a good idea to publically become part of FSF now. If you would like...
