Done yesterday evening. Its setup in a way that we keep it for all
future reports. Will hopefully make it easier to reuse stuff.
https://svn.debconf.org/svn/reports/ is its url. Anonymous checkout
possible, commit not. :)
If someone else wants commit access: ask me. Currently Pete, Gunnar and
myself have access. But if you only plan to write one chapter and dont want
to bother with svn - just write it and send it to report@debconf.org.
That will always reach those who have write access, who can then commit
it for you.
Which means - yes, even if you only have one simple paragraph or
something small - send it in. Not much work, we do the work for you. :)

That changed a bit, we take LaTeX now.
Before you run away, crying: You dont need to know any LaTeX to
help. You can just submit plain text and we transform it to LaTeX.
In svn there is a template.tex, that shows how to prepare a whole
section. Its pre-filled with everything you need[1], and if you just
replace my placeholders you will end up submitting something that fits
in the whole report. You only need to \include{filename} it into
dc6-report.tex to activate it.
If you check it out you will also notice a bunch of other helping
files. README helps to understand it, but basically - run make to
generate the pdf output. It will take care of everything needed,
including the multiple reruns LaTeX needs to get the Table of Contents
right.

Gunnar has access to the comas database from DC6, so can take numbers of
that part.
I prepared a basic layout already, more to follow. Including pictures, i
take a look at that now.
