New module authors could contact the CGRAN admin(s) to be listed in the directory and if an admin finds a really interesting module they can reach out to the author to say "your project seems neat, could you send us a request to be included in CGRAN?". A CGRAN admin would add them to the mirroring

Interesting, Chris. Thanks for that info. The question would be, do we mirror everything? It seems like that's a possibility. It's nothing I think I could automatically set up. I typically have left it up to the authors to decide given their software license. On Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 10:28 AM,

It looks like github can mirror another git repo. It looks like mirrors don't update automatically; the docs suggest using a cron job to automate, so if the hypothetical grad student's repository goes away the CGRAN version could remain at the last published version. On Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 10:22

Let me add one more thing about CGRAN while we are still trying to narrow down how to handle this. One reason I put CGRAN in place was to host code that might "disappear." For example, students post it on university webpages and when they graduate, that hosting gets taken down. Additionally, some

Marcus, I like the idea of an uber-repo with external submodules. That would mean these submodules could link to a repo we could provide the user, a repo they already have on github, or a repo they have on some other external server. But in the end, our uber repo would point to all of them and t

Hi everyone, that seems to be a nice solution you're proposing, George. What about having a uber-repo that uses external submodules? This way, you could have your single CGRAN repo, with all the packages as submodules, some documentation in a single wiki, all per gitlab, and just keep the projects

I agree with Martin that once we go to git, every project has its own independent repo. That shouldn't take much time at all to do, I can just run some svn2git magic to spit out separate repositories. The question will be where those repositories live. I can host the repositories again. I could

CGRAN is useful and I'd like to see it live on in some form, at least as a directory of modules that people are developing. My gut feeling is that github is a good way forward. I'm not sure what kind of quality assertion you want to make by including something in CGRAN (clueful developers? decent

The machine that runs CGRAN down in some basement somewhere at Carnegie Mellon has hit some issues again. Given that I'm no longer at the university, these issues are becoming harder for me to address. At this point, it's probably best for CGRAN to "move on" as we've all been in discussion about
