Let me add to this. We had a rather "lively" debate on this internally
and I'd like to share this here publicly so people can see the thought
process.

These are of course MeeGo projects. So some of us wanted to do the
migration to the MeeGo Gitorious first and then open things up when
everything was in the right place and ready.

Others (myself included) argued that people (YOU) were mostly interested
in the sources and would be willing to deal with the "wrong" domain and
the hassle of the migration in a week or two. 

My argument for openness won, but frankly, I'd like to know if we called
this correctly - is it better to do "open early, sort it out in public"
or would people prefer "get it right, on the correct domain - we'll wait
for it". This way we can learn for the next time something like this
comes up.

Thanks
