We haven't fixed some important modalities yet. Do we want a maintainer? If not, how will we manage accounts? I suggested to use the ones of the wiki. That would require using www.globulation2.org server, which I think is not a problem. Does the person who did this integration add mercurial authentification support (some hacks with apache authentification)? I could provide mirror usable for anonymous download. > * All three will have their CVS folders removed, then a simple hg add and > hg commit by Nct for the inital import will be done (as said by bradley in > another email, loosing histroy is not a concern) loosing history is, and I refuse to do any work for the switch if we are loosing it (but I'm sure we there are several ways not to loose it).

Switching to a distributed system to keep the same development model, with an inferior management infrastructure (I won't give ssh access to everyone and editing .htaccess by hand is not realistic), is not such a great idea. > Any comments, suggestions, or complants?? Otherwise, this will go ahead. Complaints, yes. As you have seen I don't as much time for glob2 as I would like to, and I don't like to be assigned jobs when I asked for fundamentals questions that are being ignored. Take care not to throw away the past too fast in a great moment of feeling that the future will be easier and bug free. Sure there is a lot of things to improve, sure actual stuff is not perfect. But it exists, and works. So when doing revolutions, please think about all consequences. This applies as well on infrastructure (mercurial switch which has to be done correctly) and code (rewrites introduce bugs, throwing away a working code should be done on sound bases).
