OK, I think these two can be merged into one discussion.

SourceForge has moved to a new infrastructure with better trackers, etc.
https://sourceforge.net/p/upgrade/

I'd like to upgrade after the 2.3.2 release -- ideally 9/15. For us, there's 
little downside. We maintain our webpages outside of SF, and don't have 
multiple Git repositories. The only item I see that we'd lose is the "SCM 
hooks" that mail openbabel-updates on commits.

If there are no objections, I'll flip the upgrade for Open Babel on 9/15 -- 
after making the release official.

On that subject, several people have pushed for a migration to Git. I think we 
should also do that -- we can create new hooks (and ways to track code changes 
through RSS, etc.).

I'm open to timing for the Git migration. I'd suggest just after the release is 
tagged (i.e., the same weekend), but I'm open to suggestions. One benefit of 
doing this at the same time, is that the SF upgrade would already break the 
URLs for the SVN repositories:
> Note that the URLs used to access your code repositories will change, and an 
> email will be sent to all project developers with the new URLs after the 
> upgrade is complete.

I think we might as well take the jump -- GitHub, for example, offers SVN 
access to its Git repositories.
