Right now it can only be the second option. There's no "ZF organization" on GitHub. Legally, the zc.buildout fork now existing on GitHub is independent of the ZF, and the developers maintaining it are acting independent of the ZF. Don't get me wrong, they have every right to do so. But right now they cannot claim their software as being part of the Zope Foundation set of software. The same is true for all packages forked onto GitHub that were maintained on svn.zope.org before. This may change in the future should the ZF one day embrace GitHub as the canonical repository, but that hasn't happened at this point. jens _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [email protected] https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
