Hi all, I haven't had a chance to read through all of the replies yet, but just wanted to send a quick update. I got the merges back on track, so master and slim branches are now updated from Sourceforge, and the Travis-CI builds are now working again: https://travis-ci.org/FreeCol/freecol/builds
This means that we should have our nightly builds available: https://github.com/FreeCol/freecol/releases The only repo I haven't updated yet is the website repo. I know we had discussed it in the past, but the migration to Github was postponed until everyone was on board and we released the 0.12 update. But I haven't tracked the status of that. Also, @Michael T. Pope <mp...@computer.org>, I've added you to the Github org project team. Please let me know if you have access to it.
