I suppose that's fine with me, if somebody wants to do the work. Off the top of my head: - People in the xcb group on fd.o need to be added to the xorg group. - After moving the repositories, symlinks from the old locations would be appreciated so old checkouts still work. - I'd rather not merge the XCB wiki into the X.Org wiki, unless somebody's going to do a lot more maintenance on the X.Org wiki than I've yet seen and they want to take on XCB too. - I don't think most XCB contributors want to see all the mail on xorg-devel, so I'm inclined to keep the separate mailing list as well. Although some of us are on both lists anyway, and perhaps nobody would mind merging? I'd have a happier outlook on this plan if I thought fully merging the projects would get more administrative support for both XCB and the rest of X.Org from fd.o admins. Jamey
