Okay, now that 1.11.2 is done, the dates are set:

1) Blue day: right now!
2) Red day: Easter Sunday, 19:00 GMT+1 (local time in Germany)

Okay, the problem with the wiki page was solved. "We" now just have to make
sure that we have some easy migration guidelines for those not too used to git
(like e.g. me). Things the guideline should cover:
1) initial checkout of "what once was trunk"
2) building from the checkout
3) committing to branches (e.g. to the stable 1.10 branch for i18n updates)
4) creating and working with own branches


What we have decided on is to be using sourceforge as git host. I don't know
what "the admin team" needs to do to add accounts with commit access there.
Maybe esr can clear this up.

Other things to do now:

1) Please be patient and do try to not commit anything into svn at gna.org
since esr is right now working on the migration.
2) Wait for the announcement by esr with the url to the git repo.
3) Get yourself a git checkout.
4) Starting easter Sunday (unless something drastic happens) the old svn repo
will be "soft closed" meaning you could still commit things there, they will
just not be used in releases or anything...

Cheers,
Nils Kneuper aka Ivanovic
