We could migrate all that stuff into trac. There's not too much over there :( >> So, where should we have the repository? >> Just keep it on sourceforge? Or host it ourselves?

It's now being used by the kernel, x.org, wine, and other large projects. It's super fast, and has some neat properties, like it being completely distributed, and wonderful merging tools: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) I'm not seriously proposing that we switch though. If we ever did branching, sure, but it's not a big deal. >> Also, is everyone okay if I migrate the lists over to using google >> groups so that we can link blog posts so emails? >> > > At the moment, the fact SF doesn't link the mail archives to > Google is a pain, but probably can be addressed by hassling > Sourceforge. > Thats true, but it can take an awfully long time to do anything. > The main lists probably have to stay on SF.

We don't have great guarantees, but I think it can be pretty reliable. What if I figure out some way to archive the mailing list on our own? It shouldn't be too difficult, just create an address that archives emails. > I'm reluctant to move from a system specifically designed to support > collaborative open source development, to one designed mainly > for kids, dreebs, old ladies, and elephants .. :) > hehe :) but sourceforge is so slow and bloated. > Mailman based systems are well proven and used by a very large > number of serious mailing lists. > The problem with mailman is that I don't know how to link a post to a web-based forum, and have them feed back to each other :( > Anyhow, I set up a silly group and invited you and me to join. > for future reference, I already created felix-language here: http://groups.google.com/group/felix-language?lnk=srg. -e ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
