[...] To follow up on that, and while I have not contributed much to aspell, please indulge me in putting in my INR 0.02. To my mind, firstly, aspell is a mature project (for my money, *the* open-source spell-checking solution) run almost entirely through Kevin as the maintainer. In such a scenario, IMHO, any move to a DVCS would need strong arguments in favour of such a move from proponents of that. As there are not many contributors to aspell, what exactly is the benefit of a DVCS? Secondly, my personal preference for a DVCS. should such a move be made, would be for Mercurial in preference to git, though that is very likely a personal bias from familiarity with Mercurial over git. Nevertheless, it would be good to hear arguments in favour of one over the other.
