SVN stores the source code aand the data files for forge online. The dev team uploades their code and data to the SVN. The rev with the highest number is the most recent version.
Click on the link and read the Commit log messages. This will give you an idea of the type of work that is being added to the source code at any point in time. Some people enjoy reading this info as it gives them an idea of what to expect with the next beta.
Some people use Snacko's scripts which are located in another topic. These scripts allow them to easily download the source code from the SVN and to build a working copy of forge using the newest code.
Other people will install
Subversion and Eclipse onto their computer. Some of these people use this to only download the newest code and other people will add their own work and mods to the SVN via an upload.
