              I'll add in a vote for Mercurial (voting always seems to
              be how to<br>
              decide on VCS), though I still believe that SVN works
              better for a<br>
              contribution/review/patch workflow.<br>

          Distributed version control systems are very good for
          distributed development (funny that). Whilst I'm not proposing
          we use bzr (I would *very* much like us to use mercurial
          though), our workflow at Canonical with bzr and launchpad is
          great. You develop in a branch (branching is very easy with
          dcvs') and push to launchpad. On requesting a merge review you
          get a great web interface with viewable diff and when the
          merge is approved you merge back onto trunk. (Branching and
          merging are substantially easier with hg / bzr / git than with
          svn.)<br>

        <div>(From the peanut gallery). One potential benefit to having
          the project live at Canonical is that Michael works there, and
          Canonical may be interested in helping officially support it.

    Hehe, I certainly can't speak for canonical on that score... :-)<br>
