I mainly meant that developers and interested folks using the repo to get at the source for inspection and modification isn't necessarily considered the same as using it as a regular entry point for most users. For example, we use the mirror system for our actual [source] releases. That said, if we are discussing a fairly small binding that probably isn't much of an issue, and as I wondered, perhaps the github mirror of the repo might be a useful tool there. > I have "go get" *almost* working directly out of > the ASF repo now, but I can't work around all the glitches - in > particular the documentation browser is a mess.
