Hey Evan, et. al.,
As someone just beginning to get familiar with the Laconica sources
(I've been sending in small patches to fix bugs to get myself
oriented), I just wanted to clarify a few things about how the
repository reorganization might affect things. (Also, first post to
this list. :)

Hi, everyone. So, I promised we'd be setting up some new
repositories, and now it's done.
Our main repository is going to be on Gitorious:
http://gitorious.org/projects/laconica/repos/mainline
This repo will be the most stable version of Laconica -- equivalent
to what we're running on Identica.
It will include released software, plus any bug patches that we push
to identi.ca. This is where our releases will live.
This is cool, but I'm a touch confused because I'm familiar with git,
but not with Gitorious.org. The Gitorious page says that the Laconica
repository there is a clone from the main one at
http://laconi.ca/software/laconica.git
That's where my local git repo is currently pulling from (it's my
"origin"). With this new reorganization to Gitorious, should I now
start pulling from the repository on Gitorious.org instead?
It'd be great if other people who want to contribute use
gitorious.org, too. You can push your changes there and make a merge
request; it's very handy for tracking what needs to be done.
So, can I take this to mean that sending you a merge request on
Gitorious.org is your preferred method of receiving patches? :) I've
been uploading them to Laconica's Trac because that's where I go to
report the bugs I find, so I'm in the habit of returning there to
provide patches for said bugs. I also see folks sending patches in via
the mailing list here, and so now with this third option I'm just
wanting to know how to best be a helpful contributor as opposed to a
distraction. :)
Thanks for all your hard work,
