I've setup a second repo at mocha for this: /var/svn/www - it contains a www.xfce.org/trunk and www.xfce.org/tags. trunk points to the current www.xfce.org site, tags contains a www.xfce.org-20060109 tag copy of that same content.

Since it's a separate svn repo access is restricted to a separate group but works otherwise exactly the same as the xfce repo:

anonymous viewing:
  http://svn.xfce.org/svn/www/
developer access:
  https://svn.xfce.org/svn/www/
websvn view:
  http://svn.xfce.org/listing.php?repname=www&path=%2F&sc=0
test view:
  http://svn.xfce.org/www/

(note that the test view isn't synced with commits right now - I'll need to fiddle up a post-commit script to do this after every commit).

Only current admins have full access to the repo now - anyone wishing to work on this can request access through the usual method (bribe, beg, threaten etc). 

Howz' dat?
