Comment (by balaji):
Dear Jonathan and others: I have been following the exchanges and I am in
favour of moving to Github. The branching alone, as outlined, would be a
significant step forward toward a way of working on provisional standards
within small groups.
The danger is of branches becoming long-lived enough to become more of a
fork than a branch. Developers of software that is dependent on a
particular version of the conventions have to be aware of the risks of
committing themselves to a version not on the trunk; but beyond that I can
very easily see a lot more flexibility builtin into a github-based
approach.
