Thanks Toby for all the work you have put into this project. It was a great help to me with my conversion, as I am sure it has been a great help to many others. Thanks again, Carol
-----Original Message----- From: vss2svn-users-boun...@lists.pumacode.org [mailto:vss2svn-users-boun...@lists.pumacode.org] On Behalf Of Toby Johnson Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2009 1:18 PM To: Vss2Svn Users Subject: Moving vss2svn to Google Code Hello everyone, Back when I created the PumaCode.org Trac project site, there were (IMO) no good, easy-to-use open source hosting sites that supported Subversion. SourceForge was the closest thing and their Subversion support was perpetually "any day now". And I was rather less than impressed with Tigris.org, although they may have gotten better since then. However, my involvement with this project has dropped off and I'm no longer interested in maintaining the PumaCode.org site. It probably wouldn't be as big a deal if I didn't spend so much time fighting Wiki spam, but now I'm faced with the prospect of upgrading Trac to fight the spam, permanently disabling anonymous access, or migrating somewhere else. Of these options, the last sounds like the best to me. I'm very impressed with Google Code's offerings; they have a great, clean web interface; and as a much larger-scale site they are better at fighting spam than I am by myself. So my plan at this point is to migrate to Google Code. I've set up the initial project site here: http://code.google.com/p/vss2svn/ Luckily, the full Subversion history of the project can be migrated using svnsync. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there's an easy way to migrate the Wiki pages, and no way to migrate mailing list history. I can directly add everyone who is currently subscribed to this list to the new mailing list. If anyone has any opinion on this, please let me know soon as I will complete the migration within the next week or two. Please email me privately if you would prefer I don't add your email to the new Google Code mailing list. I'll leave the PumaCode.org project up for the foreseeable future, but I have already disabled anonymous wiki edits due to a marked increase in wiki spam lately. I honestly don't anticipate that this project will gain much activity again unless someone new decides to take an active role in further development, but I would still like to ensure that future users are able to at least easily get the source code and history.
