Comment (by anarcat):

 one thing we need to clarify here is what the requirements are. it seems
 we want:

  * '''permanence''' - there should be '''backups''' and no data loss in
 the event of an attack or hardware failure
  * '''archival''' - old data should eventually be '''pruned''', for
 example personal information about past employees should not be kept
 forever, financial records can be destroyed after some legal limit, etc.
  * '''privilege separation''' - some of the stuff is '''private''' from
 the public, or even to tor-internal members. we need to clearly define
 what those boundaries are and are strongly they need to be (e.g. are
 Nextcloud circles sufficient? can we put stuff on Google Docs? what about
 share.riseup.net or pad.riseup.net? etc)

 I might be missing some things here of course, would be glad to expand on
 those.

 This is of course a wider problem than just SVN, and that should be part
 of a wider audit affecting also external services (hinted above in the
 Google Docs reference). But this ticket is mostly about SVN, because we
 have been trying to turn off that server for four years now and we have to
 start with something.
