One nice thing about subversion is that is it designed to be used very
similar to CVS: svn commit, svn update and similar commands are all in
place. Someone who has used cvs can start with svn almost without
reading the manual and will find, that many of the problems (s)he
faced with cvs are now magically solved. ;)

Still I wouldn't want to press this issue at this time. Svn could
solve or ease some technical problems but not the social ones in
coordinating a community-driven repository.
