iDream will be handled via SVN on my server. Unfortunately, my webhost is A2Hosting and they do not allow HTTP or HTTPS requests for SVN repositories.  If you are interested in helping out you should create a DSA keypair and forward your public key to developer@nashenassi.org.  
+
If you are interested in contributing to the iDream project, please contact Joel Owens at [mailto:developer@nashenassi.org developer@nashenassi.org].
  
Generate keypair:
 
 
ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t dsa
 
 
Just hit enter for default file name and do not create a passphrase.
 
 
To get a copy of your key:
 
 
cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
 
 
Email the output to developer@nashenassi.org and request access to the iDream  project.
 
 
I use XCode 3.1.2 for development, so the repository is in format for this IDE. If you use another method for managing code projects, you'll probably need to get some info on how to work with an XCode project.
 
 
Once you've gotten me your key and have access to the SVN setup, you'll need to setup SVN to use SSH.  If you are on a Mac (or other Unix based system) you'll need to edit your <tt>~/.subversion/config</tt> file and add a tunneling profile (under the [tunnels] heading).  An example:
 
 
a2 = ssh -p 7822
 
 
Here we've set up a profile you can use for any svn+ssh connections to a2hosting (a2 for short).  You can call it whatever you like, but assuming you used a2 here is the check out command (which will work after you've had your dsa key added):
 
 
svn co svn+a2://nashenas@nashenassi.org/iDream/trunk/iDream iDream
 
 
This will check out the XCode project directory and place it in a folder iDream in your current working directory. If you have any suggestions that would make them more newbie friendly, or more readable, please, make them or just edit them.
