Hi there, This is a message that may lead to some debate, but I think the question still needs asking...
LTB source repositories are currently hosted on ltb-project.org, using subversion. This causes some service administration load to our currently small team, and is currently dysfunctional (no emails when commits are made). GitHub offers an amazing service, to mention a few of the advantages: - free hosted repos for open source projects - the many advantages of using git over svn - the GitHub "pull request" model, which makes it very easy for contributors to propose patches [1], rather than having them in the bugtracker, and discuss contributions [2]. For all of these reasons, I feel it would be good to move our source repo to GitHub. We can of course conserve the SVN history (there are good migration tools around), and I would be willing to put in some effort to do the migration. What are your thoughts? Regards, Jonathan [1] See https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Git-Workflow for an overview of using this. [2] This is an example of the discussion around a proposed patch. Note the possibility to comment directly in the diff. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Clarke - [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------- Ldap Synchronization Connector (LSC) - http://lsc-project.org -------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ ltb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ltb-project.org/listinfo/ltb-dev
