Hi all I have been asked to forward this mail to the list.
I myself have no wellformed opinion on the subject matter. Regards Mads P.S. I am not sure I should actually forward to the list, but I reckon that as long as it does not become a habit, its OK. Hope you agree. ---------- Forwarded mail ---------- From: Juergen <[email protected]> To: mads at dydensborg.dk [...] Hola! This messages' purpose is to prepare a delicious meal and to kick of a conversation about benefits (pros) and the caveats (cons) to shift the development / code from sourceforge to svn.kde.org It has been recently suggested by Albert Astals Cid to move more projects that are kde-based/related to svn.kde.org. (see http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-release-team&m=122675748815131&w=2 ) Benefits (as mentioned by sebas & aacid): " - less infrastructure maintainance - more likely participation of developers that have a KDE SVN account already - code review, a lot of people follow commits and review patches (no promise, it's just more likely due to increased visibility) - can be released alongside KDE (whereever it ends up, even extragear) - integration of SVN with bugtracker - translation done be KDE translation teams (manpower, consistency across desktop) - shows stronger KDE ties, taking a bit more advantage of KDE's brand - the ebn, people doing roaming fixes, etc." Caveats: " - possibly losing history - migration effort" - coordinate the move with someone (aacid?) - find a apropriate modul (extragear/multimedia?) - apply for kde.svn account (for those who dont already have one) --> http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Get_a_SVN_Account#Who_Can_Apply_For_a_KDE_SVN_Account.3F Not all mentioned here applies to kdenlive. the bugtracker we use atm appears to fit our needs. The people behind Krusader had a discussion about this recently, this is what I could dig up for your viewing pleasure. links mention (some of) what came to their minds, where their questions, answers, considerations etc. (spoiler: they favored the move): http://groups.google.com/group/krusader-devel/browse_thread/thread/269d7beceff3274 http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/release-team/2008-November/002651.html http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/release-team/2008-November/002647.html I believe a move would benefit kdenlive, but this i your decision to make. avec mes sentiments les meilleures, Juergen. --------------------
