The Infrastructure Subcommittee plans to change the structure of the Forum's GitHub organization to better reflect the evolving structure of the Forum itself by moving to separate repositories for each working group. We've discussed a number of ways to accomplish this, and have concluded that the following steps represent the best approach:
First, we'll clone the "documents" repository to "archive", preserving branches and commit history. We'll then rename "documents" to "servercert". This repo will contain the SCWG Charter, BRs, and EVGLs. GitHub will automatically redirect links from the old name to the new name, keeping links to the current versions of the BRs, NCSSRs, and EVGLs functioning. The "servercert" repo will be forked to create a "forum" repo that retains commit history for the Charter and other Forum level documents. Non-SCWG documents will then be deleted from "servercert", and non-Forum docs will be deleted from "forum". Also, ALL EXISTING BRANCHES WILL BE DELETED - this means that some redline links included in old ballots will be broken. Those links can be manually modified to reference the "archive" repository. This is a tradeoff made to preserve links to the current versions of SCWG docs and to simplify this migration. Finally, we'll create new repositories under the 'cabforum' organization as follows: - "code-signing" - Code signing Charter, BRs, and EV code signing guidelines - "smime" - Charter and BRs for S/MIME certificates - "tools" - Future location for automation code and other Infrastructure WG files The few commits that need to be preserved in these repos will be manually re-created. Each repo will have access rights specific to the working group (e.g. SCWG members won't be able to approve changes to the SMCWG repo). The "main" branch of each repo will be configured to enforce reviews before merging a pull request. The Infrastructure subcommittee proposes that these changes be made after November 1st if no objections are raised. Please respond if you have any concerns with this proposal. Thanks, Wayne
