[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

Hello Markus,

sorry for the late coment. I am catching up the list only in certain
intervals and usually can not react immediately unless put in cc
or notified else.

this list apparenly is driven by the wish to go to osgeo.
The contras against GForge are basicall contras against the bug tracker
and I fail to see a neutral judgement.
It seems, a decision was made before argument collection.

However, there is no reason for me to fight for anything here.
I you want to go OSGeo, so be it.
Of course we will help/assist to support the migration. At some
point you may want a tar ball of the whole repository. Please contact
me and Bernhard directly for quick reaction or a scheduled date. 

Best

	Jan
