You now have to use:-

That's http rather than connecting via svn and they've also changed the repository path. If you want to update your existing source, go into the trunk and type:-

I've written to Berlios Support, so we'll wait and see what happens.

On the previous weekend, Koki and Scott Mc attended LugRadio Live USA 2008 in San Francisco. Koki mentions in his in-depth blog that this event was a bit of a mystery at first but in the end it all came good. I can understand why Koki was feeling like this as the event is centered around LugRadio, a podcast that takes a relaxed and humorous look at Linux and open source.
