Re: [Wikitech-l] On GitHub, rename wikimedia/mediawiki-core - wikimedia/mediawiki

2012-11-14 Thread Derric Atzrott
 The fact that mediawiki's repository is named mediawiki-core doesn't make
sense to me. The chief benefit provided by GitHub is its popularity and
visibility. We don't manage our code review or release process in GitHub anyway,
so I see no reason not to give the most weight to aesthetic / populistic
considerations. Let's make it github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki. Visibility helps!


This is not possible. Repos are the same name on the source
and destination.

Not to mention that might be confusing down the road for someone looking to find
our copy of mediawiki-core on Github.

Thank you,
Derric Atzrott
