It was decided a long time ago to host these projects independently. Code 
warehouses bear the risk of becoming permanently unavailable as well as the 
risk that they will, like SourceForge, start to aggressively monetize in 
morally questionable ways.

As the entire hosting of forge is something I undertake at my own expense and 
using my own time, I made the decision to migrate to Git and a github-like 
software by myself, prompted by the server it used to be on going away.

Greetings,

Was this migration discussed somewhere? I'm curious as to why OpenSim does not 
move to GitHub and use the PullRequest system to make it easier for non-core 
contributions?

Thanks,
Blake
