IMO if someone wants to move Devicemap to Git (with the main Git repo staying at apache.org as required) then move everything: code, data, the whole lot. Having some pieces in Git and some in svn would be a pain (except for the http://incubator.apache.org/devicemap/ which can currently only managed in svn). > ...This sounds interesting: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/#git-at-apache ... Those docs are not fully in sync with the reality IMO - Git support at Apache is production-level, and many projects are using it [1] so no worries switching but I don't have time to do the work myself right now. Unless someone here can help directly, best would be to ask on the [email protected] for pointers on how to do the switch. I haven't done such a switch myself so far. > ...Though I suppose "Non-Committers" are still people who need to sign the > Apache Contributor Agreement first, am I right?... Signing the http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt is required to become a committer, but contributions can be accepted from anyone provided that they are voluntary and that the project does due diligence about the contribution's intellectual property. IANAL but small bits of device data are certainly fine provided they're not "stolen" from another project. And if people contribute regularly they should sign an iCLA and become committers. The PMC is free to elect whoever they want as committers, the ASF does not specify how that happens. HTH, -Bertrand [1] https://delicious.com/bdelacretaz/asf,git
