That's a good point. I probably shouldn't have used the term "proof of concept" in the previous email. Assuming there are no problems and no complaints, these repos will stay where they are and will become the primary points for future development of these projects. These are basically smaller versions of the full migration of the main Parrot repo to github, though are no less real.
If any developers would like to take personal stewardship over any of these projects we can certainly move them out of the Parrot organization umbrella. I put them under Parrot because they are in the Parrot repo now, and are not personal projects (mostly because they were not adopted by anybody when they were moved out of the primary repo several months back). Until somebody does adopt them and take personal stewardship over them, there really is no other suitable home besides under the Parrot organization. --Andrew Whitworth On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 11:40 AM, Patrick R.
