[pdal] Re: Move to Github?

[Howard Butler]

And we're live.

https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL

I used http://hg-git.github.com/ to synchronize the hg repository with the github one. Since we don't have any branches, it was quite simple.

If you still have some stuff you want to push back into the hg repository, please do so today, and I'll pull it over to the github repo.  I will 301 the repository to the https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL at the end of the day today.

I can't say I like github for its ticket system, but I think this will open up PDAL to even more collaboration with a wider community and eliminate the administrative headache of managing users and tickets and spam.

Bitbucket is Mercurial-based, but I've had trouble with downtime with it, and github is rocking the house.  Note that I don't know squat about git, and i'll be learning it as I go, but it is similar to hg in many concepts and ideas (and more powerful too -- at a usability cost).
