I have created our Watir organization on github:
https://github.com/organizations/watir
I have added Jari, Jarmo, Bret, Hugh, Zeljko, Charley and myself to it.
(Have I forgotten anyone?)
Now the owners of the existing repos (bret/watir, jarib/watir-webdriver
etc.) can just log into github and move the repo under the Watir
organization, it is like two clicks.
The only change is users will need to run a command to update their remote
server
*git remote origin <newurl>
*
Cheers,
Alister
