Indeed, I understand the potential risks associated with a public repo. Perhaps the website could merely state that read-only access is available upon request. That would allow them to be screened, but it would make it clear that the Forum is open to enabling new proposals from people outside of the inner circle.

Thanks for following up on this, Jeff.
The Forum has decided not to make the SVN publicly available because it doesn't want half-baked, incomplete versions of the standard floating around the internet (we've had this discussion many times and this has always been the answer; let's not re-open this particular discussion right now).
I'll send you the generic read-only credentials and SVN URL off-list.

I would like to write a proposal to the MPI Forum myself instead of wasting everyone's time by ranting on this list or by pestering Pavan or Torsten to write something that encapsulates my ideas.
I have a Trac account but cannot find the MPI standard LaTeX source in the section marked "Browse Source". �I know that some people are about to get LaTeX, and that this seems to be the way that all successful proposals are generated, so can everyone - not just me - get access via anonymous SVN?
If I've just failed to find the link to anonymous SVN of the MPI standard, can you remind me? �I think that many others would be interested as well, since it doesn't appear that this info is readily available on the various MPI Forum websites.
It really doesn't work to require me to copy and paste from the PDF since the few times that I've done that the formatting is all sorts of screwed up and it takes a good bit of time just to make it readable text. �If I were to make a proposal involving more than a few sentences, starting from the PDF would be a deal-breaker.
Thanks,
Jeff
