To add a user as a developer:

Login to "my sf.net" (upper left hand corner). Choose your project (middle of screen). Click "Admin" (Upper left hand corner again). Click "Members" (a tiny bit below the upper left hand corner). Click "Add a developer to this project" (Bottom left hand corner). Read the whole page, and when you get to the bottom, type in their SF username. Mine happens to be Roja. :)

Login to "my sf.net" (upper left hand corner). Choose your project (middle of screen). Click "Admin" (Upper left hand corner again). Click "Tasks" (second row, upper left hand corner). Read everything there, and configure to your desire. There is a spot for adding new tasks, and so forth.

I don't use the SF forums (or this one) for project management. Mailing lists are good for discussing goals and project tasks. Alternatively, you could setup a phpbb forum (like devnet has) on a different site to discuss things.

1 standard phpBB installation (to the SF webspace if you like) and set as the home page for the project is sufficient. It makes discussion a lot easier. For more private discussion you can set up a developers mailing list and set it as private.

I would suggest just checking out the functions available on SF, reading up on their documentation, etc until you get comfortable with it. After that take a peek at some basic CVS tutorials (since this is a very useful tool to allow development by many developers from a centralised source code copy).

I keep waiting for the announcement from SF that they're implementing widespread subversion support...

You can also advertise your project to request help...

Finally - get your plan together into a document or two and release it to your SF webspace - maybe a front page linking to it, and your forums. Enough to spark discussion and get a few extra developers interested.

I was added to the beta team for SVN on SF a few months ago, so as soon as they add it, I assure you, I'll be talking about it.

Unfortunately, I suspect its going to be a *long* time before they do. SF has a habit of implementing new features VERY SLOWLY.
