While github's wiki and ticket system isn't as nice as Trac's, the ability for people to do forking and pull requests along with a workable ticket system is quite compelling. As it stands now, people can't register for our system without contacting me first, and this is too much impedance for people to get any work done.

As a follow up, all the other Mercurial repositories that were being hosted have been moved as well. The .NET bindings (defunct) and the libLAS 1.6/1.2 branch repositories are now all on github.

The Mercurial repository will be decommissioned shortly...
