Hi,

Just stumbled over the Git root for projects like Tamaya:
https://git1-us-west.apache.org/repos/asf

It contains many or all Git-hosted projects, just curious why Browsermap is
not there? Is it mirrored in a special way between GitHub only and the
DeviceMap SVN?
While some projects like DeltaSpike have a single Git repo and the module
structure (resulting in several dozens of Jenkins jobs) occurs underneath,
other projects have dozens of Git repositories there, too.

If more than just BrowserMap was to use Git (and that doesn't even seem to
use the "official" Apache Git repo at the moment) we could chose either of
these strategies. Both are legitimate and it is up to the project/PMC to
figure out what's best for them.
A very polyglot nature of DeviceMap sounds like it could justify at least
separate repositories for "data", "java", "vb" and maybe other languages.
Again this could also start from scratch with 2.x rather than a separate
SVN branch.
