The wrinkle at this point is that Gwynne has run out of steam on the Subversion migration. She has done a ton of work on it so far, but unless we find a new volunteer for the final push, it won't happen. We have enthusiastic volunteers for the Github effort. So, on that point alone Github is ahead right now.

I didn't realize Gwynne had run out of steam, and I probably hadn't expressed this clearly before but I'm happy to help out with this conversion (I was under the impression that there isn't much left). Having a SVN repository I think makes a lot of the branch work and git usage much much simpler so I feel it's a big win. I just need some direction on what I can do to help.

Samething here. I was under the impression everything was OK and we simply had to 'go live' to find the remaining issues.

Here's a cursory list of what needs still to be done: 1) Keep the SVN avail files in sync with the CVS ones until the switch. I'm happy to continue doing that, since it takes very little effort. 2) Conversion of the changelog script. 3) Conversion of anything the doc team is using that depends intimately on CVS, such as translation revision tracking. That's pretty much it. -- Gwynne, Daughter of the Code "This whole world is an asylum for the incurable."
