Since we already have github mirrors of wmf repos and a tool already written to bridge github and credit, it seems like we should give that a go before starting to work on any other alternatives.

Can we start by turning it on more generally? --scott On Sep 15, 2013 4:01 PM, "Brion Vibber" <[email protected]> wrote:
