Subversion

MakingThings maintains a Subversion repository at SourceForge.net with the source code for the firmware of the Make Controller, as well as the software tools used with it. You can browse the repository online here.

To checkout files from the repository, you'll have to install Subversion and, optionally, a GUI client. The root of the SVN repository is:

https://makingthings.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/makingthings

Releases are generally the most stable, and are kept in the tags directories. Development is usually done on the trunk. Note that it's usually best to just download the trunk or branch that you're interested in, as opposed to the entire project directory.

More info on Subversion itself can be found here.
