Since the ASF doesn't provide infrastructure yet for generic project hosting, we would need to host the project either under the ActiveMQ project or the Qpid project and that's not really appropriate for something that is meant to be completely separate from those two. Also, we want to encourage non-ASF folks to participate more easily. This is what lead Rafi and I just loosely agree that Github would be more appropriate (especially git makes it so easy to contribute and fork). But the lack of a project mailing list is one problem with Github. But as Hiram pointed out in his reply, perhaps Github + Google Groups = the correct combination.
