Create a New Project in the Plone Collective

Purpose

You've either created a project that adds some fancy new functionality to Plone, or are about to.  You think that it would be useful to other people, and would like to share it with the world.

Prerequisities

•  Subversion and a basic idea of how to use it
  
• Write access to the Plone collective
  

Step by step

The below steps use the project newProjectName.  Don't forget to change it to your actual project name!

1. Create your new project
   

   $ svn mkdir https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/newProjectName -m 'Created new project newProjectName'
   Committed revision 1234.

2. Create your base svn directories (Windows users will need to list out the three directories in separate commands)
   

   $ svn mkdir https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/newProjectName/{trunk,branches,tags} -m 'Added base files'
   Committed revision 1235.

3. Check out your new project
   

   $ svn checkout https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/newProjectName/trunk newProjectName
   Checked out revision 1235.
