Hi all,
Now that we have 2.1 out of the door (thanks all for your hard work!) I
think we could discuss an issue I've been thinking for quite some time:
a move to Github. (It's not possible to move to Bitbucket, because its
Issues API issues is too limited and won't let us import our issues)
First, let me say it loudly: I *don't* like git. I find mercurial easier
and more intuitive than git. But, on the other hand, Github has quite
some good features compared to googlecode:
1. It's pull request system. Now that there are three or four of us
working regularly on Spyder, I think it would be better that everyone
could check the changes others made, before committing to the main tree.
This would improve code quality and we could also discuss implementation
issues more deeply and work on them in personal branches instead of
adding partial of half baked things to the tree.
2. Github pages. Github lets its users to upload static web pages as
special repo branches. This would give us the possibility to create a
pretty good looking website for Spyder based on Sphinx, that anyone in
the project could improve and update at will.
3. Most python scientific projects are now on Github (IPython,
matplotlib, numpy, scipy, enthought), so this could improve cross
collaboration and probably it could attract more contributors.
Those are my main points. What do you think?
Carlos
