I've though a little about this, and I know Michael MacFadden has too. My first thoughts are that the code should move last, that being the most crucial piece to keep working to support existing development. But there are a couple of other pieces to move to Apache infrastructure too.
- Issues to JIRA - Continuous build to Apache-hosted Hudson - Documentation, etc (probably) I suggest we can move these first without interrupting development too much, then move the code when everything else is in place. Thoughts? When it comes to moving the code, I'm not sure there is an easy way to import mercurial history. If there's an existing tool, let's use it, but otherwise let's just take a snapshot at head and get on with life. There's no complex branching or tags in our repositories, though we do have two repositories to somehow squeeze into one (WIAB and the Splash lightweight client).
