I appreciated the intention, it was quite stale here, inevitably. I don't think your suggestion should be thrown away: quite timely Jeff pointed out that many ASF projects are actually mirrored on github and there is a lot of exchange with that part of the world. I thought for a minute to move to git but I examined only the technical aspect (and I didn't see a urge for that) and overlooked entirely the social implications > > Massimo is right that there should probably be a lot more sharing of > what we’re working on.

I will "grab the bull by both the horns" (like we Italians say when you have to undertake something with decision) and trim a bit my stuff. I will let it go into the world otherwise, like our children, it will never grow up. But I need a few weeks, Christmas is coming, family claims more time and I'm writing a paper > > Maybe we need a place on the website that points to projects > connected to Rivet.
