28th September 2006 A piece of functionality that myVersionControl has been sorely missing is a rich knowledge base to fully explain the many features we provide our subscribers with.
Rather than re-invent the wheel, we decided to acquire an 'off the shelf' system and integrate it into our framework. After reviewing many of the systems on offer out there, we chose Interspire's ActiveKB for its flexibility, features and the fair licensing agreement.
The Knowledge Base can now be accessed by clicking on the link above in the navigation bar, and is available throughout the control panel both as knowledge base and as context sensitive help.
A free starter account service has been added to our product offering.
As I was walking to the office last week, I heard a voice behind me mention Subversion. My ears instantly tuned in to what turned out to be a couple of college students talking about how they should version control the development projects they were currently working on. Not being the type of guy to miss an opportunity, I introduced myself and told them about myVersionControl.com.
To cut a long story short, I told them I would discuss with Martin the concept of offering a myVersionControl hosting account free to all students. The thought was that most students would go on to work in commercial development and ultimately purchase a full subscription.
The outcome of all of this is that we are proud to be able to offer to everyone a free and fully featured subversion hosting account. All the features of the pay accounts are available, the only caveat being that you are restricted to a total file size of 4mb.
To all the students at Abertay University - Hope you're enjoying the service, oh and go easy on the beers!

Free live backups now available for your projects
Martin has been working hard over the last week to implement a new service which will allow you to backup and download your repositories. We had initially intended to offer this as a value added - pay service, but after a weekend meeting, we decided that backups should be a part of the whole service our customers subscribe to. Create and download backups in your control panel at "Tools and Apps"=>Backups.
myVersionControl Launches
Our brand new subversion hosting service launched today. myVersionControl is run by my twin brother Martin and myself George Beaton and is the product of over 6 months of development. Martin brings a wealth of scripting expertise and is our in-house technical wizard. My skills lie in business development and (OK, not my strongest skill) DHTML and graphical web design and development.
Our aim to be the best Subversion host in the industry. Our strategy is to offer great functionality, an intuitive interface and lightning fast connection speeds at a fair and sustainable price.
