Sourceforge mailing list management is horrible. It's only made
tolerable by having other sites handle the archive. Google on the other
hand has a very beautiful integration of web and email. So moving there
is a massive plus in my book.

As for other things; yes there might be a point to keeping them on
sourceforge. I'm worried about confusion though. We probably won't nuke
everything off the sourceforge servers that we've moved elsewhere. And
if we keep some things, then people might follow the links off that and
believe the stale data they find is what's current.

(As for just 2 people working on TigerVNC, that is something I consider
a massive problem and something I hope that a move to github will at
least allow some improvement. The improved collaboration was not meant
for me and Brian, but for new people.)

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
