 ** What is RabbitVCS? **
-RabbitVCS is a project with the goal of developing a collection of utilities to allow for better client integration with some of the popular version control systems.  Currently, we only support the Nautilus file manager and the Subversion version control system.

 ** What does the VCS stand for? **
-**V**ersion **C**ontrol **S**ystem.  This is a program like [[http://subversion.tigris.org/|Subversion]], [[http://git-scm.com/|Git]], or [[http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/|Mercurial]] which allows one or many developers to maintain control over their source code.

 ** Where can I get RabbitVCS? **
 Please go to our [[:download|Downloads]] section.
+** When do you plan to support other file managers / VCSes? **
+Support for additional clients and systems relies on contributions from the community. Patches are welcome! The best place to start is probably finding experts in the client or system project you're interested in, and identifying Python libraries that integrate with them.
 ** I would like to contribute to RabbitVCS, but I'm not sure where to start. **
 Please go to our [[:contribute]] section.
-** When do you plan to support other VCS', like GIT? **
-Version 0.14 is our milestone release for supporting other VCS' which has already been released and adds support for Git.
 ** Can RabbitVCS replace everything I do from the command line? **
-Possibly, but then again, possibly not :) RabbitVCS covers most of the ordinary usage of SVN, so if your workflow is not too esoteric then it's unlikely you'll need to use the command line. On the other hand, if you're doing something that is complicated or that requires a lot of manual intervention, you will certainly need to know how to use the SVN command line client.
