Hi all,

Three people - one of them a committer - have expressed their preference
for moving to GitHub.


Two committers, although it has been a while (3 years AFAICT), I have 
committed to the manual module.



I have no problem with that, but I would also like to hear Helen's opinion,
as she is the heaviest user of the manual module.


Sure, I will just do a test conversion for now to work out the kinks (if 
any), and document the necessary steps.

Thanks, that would be most interesting. I'm especially curious about
the preservation of the history, including branches (not that we have
many of those).


Cheers,

If complexity of git is a problem: GitHub also allows subversion access 
to a git repository:

I am willing to spend some time to test and perform the conversion of 
the manual module to Git (and GitHub), so the commit history is 
preserved. If the consensus is for subversion, I can do that as well.


I'll be doing a test conversion of the ODBC repository this weekend. If 
it is quick to do, I'll also do a test conversion of the docs repository.
