That's exactly why I moved gwt-maven-plugin to github (but still push changes back to svn). Being on github helped me to get more contributions from various end-users, some minor, some more significant, and I gave them full acces to do what they thing is useful for the plugin to envolve. GitHub is a awesome collaboration platform, we could use it more transparently if mojo where hosted on a git repo at codehaus, but the "one repo for all mojo" policy can't apply here, and don't make sense imho. Consider how jenkins hosts hundred plugins on the same github organisation, without such heavy process, and don't tell me there is no community there ! Sharing a repository is absolutely not necessary to get collaboration between mojos. We had a thread earlier in june to move mojo on git, and mirror it on github, but I still can't see any progress on that. > > Kind regards, > Christopher > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: > > http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email > > >
