The original SVN is no longer in use. We moved to Git for a short while and then decided to move the project to a different SVN host.
It is unlikely that we will go back to the old script system that users can use to have an "up to date" copy of forge on their local machine. The old system was hard to maintain. We are considering a new system.
One option would be to visit the forge wiki at
Forge:How_to_Get_Started_Developing_Forge. This will allow you to keep up to date but requires you to follow instructions to install and to configure several pieces of software. People do not necessarily need to apply to the dev group if they do not want to make contributions to the SVN.
A second option would involve nightly(?) builds. This would allow people who are not technically advanced to download an archive that is similar to the bi-weekly beta releases.
It is expected that people that choose one option or the other would try to help in some limited fashion. Report bugs found in the nightly builds? Learn how to use the new Mantis bug reporting system? I'm sure that there must be other areas where a person could make a contribution and yet not need to do any coding.
