github lets you easily and quickly branch off of any new repo. I don't know about the permissions; I think they're per-account, so (as you say) all or none. However, with github everyone who had an account there could trivially host a git repo for us to pull from, with a nice Web interface... so, in sum: using github is an easy way to do collaboration, but you can use whatever you want as long as the repo is public. I think Istvan suggested (probably in a downstream reply) that we just create a 'pygr patch' repository. I don't know that it's necessary if all the regular developers just create github accounts that you can pull from, Chris, but it might not hurt. cheers, --titus --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pygr-dev" group.
