I have a couple longstanding projects on OCaml Forge, and as much as I support concentrating OCaml stuff in one place, it's just very difficult to resist github's ultra-slickness. I agree with that the ultra-slickness of github is something nice. As far as I am concerned, I don't see as a problem to use github for source code and distribute release through the forge. You can benefit from BTS/mailing list/aggregated news et al on the forge. I think release distribution, bug tracking and news is something that should be enough to concentrate OCaml stuff in one place and provide a good indexing of your project (not to say, that it will also cross-link your github project, thus enhance your PageRank). If you want to use github, just hide the source tab of the project and leave a note on the project webpage. Ideally, if someone has the time to code a github plugin for the forge, you can choose github as SCM and been redirected to the github project. Regards, Sylvain Le Gall ___ Caml-list mailing list.

So here is my problem, from time to time I found interesting OCaml projects on github. But some are really hard to find. Let me take some simple examples, using google search and small projects: Could OCamlForge be set up to do one-click read-only mirroring of interesting github projects? That is a possible project: https://forge.ocamlcore.org/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=604group_id=1atid=102 The main problem is that we need to create this kind of function. Most of the forge around doesn't provide an easy coordination with other forges. But I think, it is feasible. I would do it myself, but I am pretty busy with other (I hope) important projects like OASIS-DB. If someone can provide me a solution for this, I will be happy to put it on forge.ocamlcore.org. A nice first step, could be to just mirror the git repository from github. Regards, Sylvain Le Gall ___ Caml-list mailing list.
