Hi
I haven't spent time looking into how to make the branch 'default' (too many
other items on my plate) Once that's done, I can upload the repo to github.
My original proposal was to start fresh in github and keep the older history in
Source Forge as this is simpler. Is that okay?
thanks
John

Any news?
I also would like before we move
1. Do some rebasing and make the graph a bit leaner
2. Delete some very old branches which are merged into master a long time
ago.
3. That most likely will imply that everybody should then clone again once
we move to github, since I am not sure that the rebasing and deleting branches
will not break things.
