Okay, it seems like sf's gitweb search isn't working, so my main reason for staying with sf has evaporated. So let me ask about ideas for future development. There are 64 projects on sf, but only about 5 on github's aolserver account. I assume that aolserver will be the main repo (for current sf code) and developers will copy what dossy has done and fork whatever projects are necessary for development. Then developers can add related projects (AOLserver modules and/or patches) to their account. Eventually some of this might get pulled into aolserver. I've got a script to pull all the projects out of sf's cvs, creating a transcript and moving the repos. I could add to the script so that a README is generated as well as some kind of description and maybe push this to github. I'll test it out at my rmadilo account on github.
