I agree. To help prevent that we should update the Roller "how to contribute" page to let people know how the GitHub mirrors are supposed to work, and point them to these pages for details: http://git.apache.org/ http://www.apache.org/dev/git.html > But apparently 13 others have already forked Roller on GitHub, so I'm not > sure we can get rid of it (indeed, it seems virtually every other Apache > project is on it anyway, we might not have a choice.) I think that's actually a good thing and I'm one of those forkers, BTW. I created a fork called Rollarcus to learn more about GitHub and to experiment with some ideas about the Roller code base. Haven't done much with a recently. In my opinion, anything we can do to help people use our code and to encourage them to contribute back is a good thing so I think the mirrors are a good idea. - Dave
