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 	  Deleting the migrated and out-of-date contents of the Trac wiki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