<br>
GitHub has been the largest source of 3rd party code contribution via pull-requests for some time now.<br>
<br>
Moving to Github has the following components:<br>
<br>
• Move the canonical (writeable) repository to GitHub<br>
• Migrate the (current, useful) contents of the Trac wiki to the new web framework<br>
• Deleting the migrated and out-of-date contents of the Trac wiki<br>
• Switching the Trac tickets to read-only<br>
• Web scraping the Trac ticket contents and placing in a geos-old-tickets repo<br>
At that point:<br>
<br>
• New code is pushed to GitHub<br>
• New issues are filed at GitHub<br>
• New documentation is committed to the repository<br>
This should unlock:<br>
<br>
• Easier path for new contributors to discover and assist with the project<br>
• Easier collaboration with downstream projects<br>
• Far easier story on “how to we manage the project” and “where the important things happen”<br>
• Far less dependence on individual contributors for infrastructure work that only they can do<br>
<br>
