Hi, I just raised this question in another e-mail to this list but I think a dedicated thread might be good. I quickly used my mail client to search for this topic but I couldn't find anythin; so bare with me if I'm mistaken.
GitHub has clearly become one of the most popular platforms for collaboration on Open Source projects; I dare say, it's todays most popular platform. Many projects have moved there and use the infrastructure plus the vast user base to improve their projects. A quick search for "ArgoUML" yields that there are currently 27 repositories on GitHub that deal with Argo. (Link: https://github.com/search?p=1&q=argouml&type=Repositories&utf8=%E2%9C%93 ) I'm not saying that by moving there thousands of people will currently join ArgoUML, but I think that the barrier will be significantly lower: - One can easily fork the project and commit changes; signing up on tigris.org is not necessary and might hold some people back from contributing a quick patch. - Issue tracker is nicely integrated into the interface; discussion on Pull Requests possible. - Contributing made simple: A simple click will create a pull request and hence notify the ArgoUML team of a new feature someone might have developed. - Other tools support GitHub, such as travis-ci.org, which might be interesting for the CI issue we're currently having. - One can easily use the Git workflow, no SVN needed. - Use GitHub pages to build a decent website. Personally, I'd like to see ArgoUML on GitHub but I haven't been very active for more than 6 years now (I still want to say a quick "Hi Thomas!"). I'm curious what you think.
