Hello!

1. I'm working on small open source project for developed Windows. I created new project using Visual Studio wizard and now I want to publish it using subversion and develop it with friends. What projects' configuration files I have to add to repository to make my friends able to download current project's revision and open it in Visual Studio?

2. List item University where I study is a member of Microsoft Academy Alliance project, which make students able to download legal copies of many Microsoft's products. Can I use this copy to develop open source project and publish created code in Internet?
