SVN and Helga access

Access to Helga and SVN.

Helga is a project management/Asset management tool. On the front end, it looks like a webpage with lists of shots and models in the project. Each shot/model has a preview image, and a short 'blog' where you can put in comments.

Helga also knows who is working on a project, here you can be assigned to work on the shot/model. As you work, post comments in the Shot or Model, with a preview image or movie as an attachment. This makes it easy for the directors to reply with corrections/comments, and let you know when the work is final.

Helga sends email to you on assignments, and lets you know in general how things are going.
