* Ease of download.  Not everyone has an SVN client on all their computers. 
I'm often using other peoples' computers, and want to download the atlas code 
from there.

* SVN ease of use.  At the moment, I don't even know how to download one SVN 
directory without getting the whole archive of all OSM code.  

* Changes by non-approved users.  Only a few people have SVN access.  We might 
want other people to suggest changes to the config files (e.g. nick noticed 
that dunfermline had an inverted longitude and changed the wiki)

* Commenting and discussion features available on the wiki.

OK, I don't like using the wiki for source-code, and I'm sure all these things 
are solveable if you put the effort in.  But wiki is a useful backup for more 
complex systems.

If the official version is going to be SVN, then at least put instructions on 
[[PDF atlas]] wiki page saying how to download it.  Preferably instructions 
that don't involve downloading multi-megabyte SVN clients...
