[General] sandboxes or branches for interns/SoC students

[Mike Taylor]

I can work on this tomorrow.  All of the items are in place it's just a  
matter of gathering the following information from each of the people:

	svn user id
	ssh public key

Once I have that information I can create user id's and make the  
appropriate entries to the access config files.
