Well , I read the other thread , started by Gary , and it ended up as an
open subject . There was a general consensus about migrating on to Django,
but it was not clear to me that a decision has been made to start it from
scratch . At least I have not read anything about that . In my opinion
(cmiiw) that decision should come first . There is no reason for starting
from scratch if it turns out that there is no consensus for doing so.

If Apache Bloodhound is started from scratch , what would it look like?
What shall be done? How? There is where I see the need for (at least one)
BEP.

I was tempted to paste in here some fragments of Gary's message to support
my arguments , but I consider such cross-posting might end up being a mess.
Maybe I am completely wrong but , considering the discussions in the list ,
some other questions should be answered before deciding about the
repository .

Migrating to git => +1
Use github => +1 ... in the short term until an MVP is obtained
Starting from scratch => depends on what we do . We might even decide to
start from another similar software powered by Django . In that case , it
might be convenient to fork / import another repository instead.

In the long term we should be using Apache Bloodhound to develop Apache
Bloodhound, like we used to.

I've been following the conversation and I'm aware of what's been happening
with the project for a while .

Your efforts are highly appreciated (by me) .

The exact format is not the point . I mentioned BEPs because that's the way
we used to document proposals , so I was expecting everybody familiar wth
the history of the project to be on the same page quickly by just making a
reference to them . The important thing is to have quick access to the
latest version of the proposal.

I already understood the goals , that's clear to me.
