Since UNNA already has a GitHub presence, I'm leaning towards that. There
are a couple of—hopefully small—hurdles there, the biggest being file sizes
and the possibility of copyright claims. For the file sizes, some are over
the 100MB limit, but we could use their Large File Storage [LFS] service,
though there might be fees associated in the future. As for copyright
claims, which could result in files being removed from the repositories, or
possibly worse, we could work around that by using a private repo, but at a
cost.

That way we’d get storage, revision control, and hosting all gratis?


Revision control would definitely be free, storage should be for the most
part (with possible exceptions for LFS or if a private repo were required).
It certainly greatly simplifies management as well.

Thanks again,

Morgan
