This reposity is supposed to contain the whole content of
http://www.technikum29.de. You can read about the progress
of the SVN migration in our wiki at http://dev.technikum29.de/

The first import only contains the /en subdirectory, to test
the SVN directory autoversioning and post-commit-auto-update
features in an area where heribert, the main user, usually
doesn't write or - when he writes - never writes something
important (only width/height things of images, etc.).

Please note: In later use/when this reposity finally gets
used on every day life, the commit comments won't be in
english any more.
