But here is a quick summary. We hope to do the final cut over next month. We hit a snag with some inconsistencies in the svn mirrors we need to chase down, plus that give me some more time to document things better. Initially, just the tool changes to match today's workflow. However, that's just the first step to allow us to improve the work flow incrementally as different aspects of it get community buy in...

There are simply so many mistakes in the github export that we decided the pain of fixing was smaller than having to deal with them forever. I'll try to write up all the details for this as well.
