Hey guys,
With the recent move of Etoile to github I've been thinking about a
similar move for gnustep.
There are a number of reasons for this:
0)
It is possible to check out and commit to a github repository using
SVN and HG. This is #0 since it will be a primary objection to such a
move.
1) GitHub is a very well known platform
2) it would allow code review of patches to be done more easily
3) we could host both the wiki and the website on GitHub.
4) GitHub users could easily fork our repository, reuse and contribute
back more easily (we would of course still need FSF papers)
Please give me your thoughts on this. I think it's a good idea for the
technical reasons I've given above.
My first argument is ideological: I'd rather stay, as long as possible,
on a free code forgesite, in free as really free, what more than FSF?
Free the platform as the software it runs on. GitHub is commercial, even
if free for open-source projects. Actually, I have advocated since quite
some time to move GNUstep's sources.
Do we have problems with our current website and wiki?
about 4) I am unsure, sure it eases fork, but the merge back? After all
we want to be sure that contributions are clean both technically as in
copyright and assignment.
