[pycsw-devel] migration to github

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi all,

This is interesting:

SourceForge is now moving its projects to a new open platform called 
OpenForge or Allure and it is something similar to github BUT completely 
open source :)

https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/wiki/Allura%20Wiki/

One can upgrade an existing project with one click! The new platform 
supports Git, Mercurial, Subversion, Bazaar and can be hosted in a 
private server. \o/

So basically I propose to stay on github, since all the work has been 
done, but at the same time upgrade the SF project and switch to git 
there too. People will be able to clone from SF too...

Thoughts?
Angelos
