+== Trunk and Branches ==
+
+Many coming here are new to source code control in general, and subversion
in particular, which is what is used here. The download packages are
generally built from the
[http://code.google.com/p/arcmapbook/source/browse/trunk trunk] -- the main
distribution, a minimally altered DS Mapbook -- while some of the more
interesting work like NW Mapbook and Chase's Customized Mapbook are in the
[http://code.google.com/p/arcmapbook/source/browse/branches branches].
+
+At this time if you want to use this extra functionality you'll need to
install a branch and not the trunk. Over time I hope we can merge the best
of the branches with the mainline, which will require the aid of real
developers and not wannabe programmers like matt! In the meantime read the
[http://code.google.com/p/arcmapbook/source/checkout checkout instructions]
and install you're favourite svn client. I find [http://tortoisesvn.net/
TortoiseSVN] in particular very easy to use.
