Is there any chance You are "stephen14"? I assume this means we have Craig's blessing for this initiative (if we do not screw it up, of course ;) )

All who are using v4 in production environment are urged to comment on this issue. Bug reports and rough edges should be reported ASAP as github issues. I will wait some time (2w?) and then, if nothing major shows up I'll make a first release. > In any event, since the sourceforge pages are currently the 'official' > location where new users land (and where distros look for new code), I asked > him to make me an admin on the sourceforge project page.

I think you should add a line stating development is continuing on github, with a pointer there. Later, if things really pick up speed, we can also obsolete the SourceForge project, but I wouldn't rush it now. > I think if it's eventually officiallyhosted on github, it's important to > leave the door open for Craig to assist when/if time permits. Of course. BackupPC is his project and he is welcome whenever he likes. If You have his github account (if any, otherwise he will have to open one) I'm pretty sure Lars will be happy to add it to github organization. ANY input from him, either direct or through You will be most welcome. Please inform him, if possible and if he has time, about our intentions, if he objects we would really like not to go against his wishes. In particular I would like to have his blessing in the move from the (somewhat obsolete) CVS repository to github (and git in general). Note this means the old repo should be "frozen" and any commit should happen in the new one would he agree? Keeping two different repos in sync doesn't seem sensible to me. > Cheers, > Stephen Regards Mauro ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting.
