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
