First, I meant no disrespect when I said "I think it would be best to get full agreement from the team on this."

I would very much like to be part of the discussion regarding moving to Github if its amenable to you guys. As for the old issues, Ian and I suggested closing/dropping bugs created before 2012 Nov 8 mainly because of the bug's age and the modify on those seem to be a side effect of possibly some activity from Sourceforge's infrastructure. I'm personally split about what should be done the mailing lists. I find it convenient because it's email that lands in your inbox with your other emails. But, I feel figure out where the conversation has gone so far may require going to the mailing list archive a disadvantage. In my opinion a discussion forum is the best alternative to a mailing list system. Unfortunately, GIthub doesn't have a "discussion forum" system, and users have been begging for it (see https://github.com/dear-github/dear-github/issues/44 but I won't hold my breath on this one). What I would add to the list is having a discussion on the following and target having a process in place before the "grand opening" to Github: * "issues" that would normally go on a "discussion forum" if Github had one. * Whether to stay with the current process of applying changes in the current release branch and master. * How merge requests will be processed. > > -- > Wes Hardaker > Please mail all replies to net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net -- Thanks, Keith (pantherse) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list Net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
