This is great news. >From what I can tell, the reactions to this post on reddit vim group, twitter >and hacker news have been very positive. I volunteered to help in the previous thread about moving away from Google Code.. so if help is needed with drafting or testing new git-related help pages, I'm still in. The pages that will likely need git equivalents are: - http://www.vim.org/mercurial.php - http://www.vim.org/develop.php I'm curious, when a switch is made, will Github's "pull request" feature be used? Or will code contributions still be done with patches via mailing list? I'd guess a move to "pull request" workflow will be done since it's so effortless on github, but maybe I'm jumping the gun here. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
