hmm. I'd want to do a clean import of each version, with releases from the original archives.

In the latter case, I'd need a list of github names ;) in the former case, we should come up with something - I'll just act as a guardin. > This leaves the mailinglist as those do not have a place in github as > they are now. > > A quick search turns up Nabble[1], alternatively we could try to convert > the archive to HTML, and add it to the github pages. I'd prefer the latter, somehow, but don't have a strong opinion - less to maintain with fewer moving parts and involved parties. > On interaction : > As github doesn't have interacting possibilities that aren't related to the > code (issues/pull requests) we have to decide whether dirvish needs those > kinds of interaction. Hm. dirvish has an IRC channel (#dirvish) on freenode, which should suffice for most interactive support - the remainder should be true issues that need tracking, for which github should suffice? count -- Andreas 'count' Kotes Taming computers for humans since 1990.
