At the moment, I don't have the time to devote to finishing the SVN  
move, so the Github option might be a good viable alternative. For the  
record, I know very little about Git (despite several attempts to make  
sense of it), thusly I'd be of little use helping with that move. From  
what I've read in the threads about it, it seems like there's a lot of  
good things about Github and not very many bad things; my personal  
feeling is that PHP would probably benefit more from Github than from  
the homebrewed SVN stuff I've cooked up :).
