A couple things though -- we have a lot of automation
surrounding github. We should make sure the major players have
their input before attempting this. I'm thinking Brad and
Vladimir? Also, I think an owner of the github group needs to
be pulling the trigger too, so I'm not sure how much we can
offload this duty to Seb.
GitHub say that they will redirect all relevant requests (http,
git/ssh), so assuming that's true, hopefully nothing will break.
Yes it is - as long as no new repository is created. That's why
you really should avoid to create repositories at the
github.com/D-Programming-Language after the migration.
As mentioned I wrote to the Github support about the "dlang"
namespace:
I took a look at the account in question [dlang], and it
doesn't appear
that it is dormant (not all activity on GitHub is public).
With that in mind, there would be no way for us to transfer
this name to you without permission from the owner of it.
However I still have a bright message for you:
It looks as though the **d-lang** account you found is being
squatted.
I've gone ahead and released this username now, so you'll be
able to
create an organization with that username now.
You'll want to grab that username quickly — it's available
first-come,
first-served. Let me if there's anything else I can do to help!
Did that - that's why a couple of guys got an invitation.
So if we want to move to "d-lang", it is as easy as:
1) Delete the reserved "d-lang" namespace
2) Press on rename at D-Programming-Language
3) Recreate D-Programming-Language (and _avoid_ creating repos
here)
I don't know how your protocol for such a change is, is it:
1) Wait a week until for objections
2) Ask a survey (yes, no, don't care)
3) Check approval from Walter + Andrei
4) Something else
@Cybershadow in case of a positive decision, do you want to be
the "trigger guy"?
Cheers,
Seb
PS: In case you are worried - Step 1) will kick me out of the
temporary organization.
