If the project does not move to GIT then Brainfood is willing to participate in a consortium of organizations that will peer with each other to share updates to the master branch for their local OFBiz repository. Such an arrangement will, effectively, result in a distributed master repository image. If anyone else is interested in such an arrangement please feel free to speak up and we can begin the planning process.
