[ckan-dev] Move to Github?

Thu Jul 7 12:14:12 UTC 2011

Sorry to say but I'm -1 on this. I'm not contesting github is way
better (I love it a lot) but what we will end up doing is moving
60%-70% of all modules and references across, adding further confusion
to things (we've only just gotten rid of the KForge ambiguity and we
still often get people who follow the outdated docs releases on kforge
and then fail)

If we want to do it, lets stop development for 1 week and do it
properly, but not "on the side" ;-)
