Re: Github?

I'm not against a move to GitHub.

Downsides are that any existing patches in Jira against svn become 
harder to apply. That said, I recognize there has not been a lot of 
patch activity, so maybe that is not a blocker. I would ask that we do 
not make such a move until I at least get to a couple patches that have 
been on my plate for a while.

If a move to github occurs, it should be done in a way that preserves 
the history (and tags/branches) from svn (as described in the git docs).

Some might argue that git is still a slightly higher learning curve for 
new users than svn, but the power of git can't be ignored.

I'm fine with the idea of moving to git. Any thoughts from the lists?

But I would be most interested in hearing Dan Rollo's feedback.

get some more love by doing this: IMHO using GitHub lowers the bar to 
participation. Sure, some people will fork the project and never give 
back, but it's done in an overt way.
