resent to all users:

Okay, so I've chosen subversion for my source control needs.  a) I like that it's easy to integrate with Wing, and b) it is available on the box used for my web site.
 
But I'm having a bit of difficulty naviating through the documentation for setting it all up.
 
I have already created an empty repository on the web site server.  It's above the www/ folder, which I assume is okay.
 
I am to the point in the instructions where I am supposed to generate a key.
 
So here are a few questions:
 
  1. will I need to give the pass phrase to my developers?  Will I need to give them the public key?
  2. I understand that I'll need to run svn on the local (client) machine, but what am I using for an off-site (WWW) server?
  3. Do I need to use svn after that? ; Is that with manual or cache settings for svn?
Hoping someone has done this before, thanks in advance,
 
Vania

You need to log in through one of the perforce commands, but the client
app doesn't need to be running.  Wing currently does not provide the
ability to login in any of the version control systems it supports.

You do need the svn command line application for Wing's subversion
support to work and you should use it or another subversion frontend to
setup your project directory and how to access your repository.  Then
you'll be able to update, commit, etc from within Wing.
