Hi! I would like to move the repository and issue tracker to GitHub. Kouhei, what would it take to perform such a move? I am willing to spend some time on this task, but I need to know what you, as project manager, think needs to be done. I will also need access to the ruby-gnome2 group at GitHub. ---

I agree with only ‘moving the repository to GitHub’. We keep to use other resources on [SF.net](http://SF.net). We keep to open the issue tracker on [SF.net](http://SF.net). (It seens that the issue tracker on [SF.net](http://SF.net) is watched just by me…) We also accept reports in the issue tracker on GitHub. Users just get an option. Background: I disagreed with moving to GitHub a few years ago because we don’t have good release system. And anyone didn’t work about it. It meaned that we never release any new version. A few people and I worked about release system. Now, we can release Ruby-GNOME2 as gems easily and we could release 1.0.0 :-). If we move only the repository, we will be able to keep releasing and developing. This is why I agree with moving to GitHub now. If you want to move other resouces to GitHub, I will disagree becasue we can’t release any new version. > Kouhei, what would it take to perform such a move? We need to migrate Subversion repository to git repository with all author info.

Please migrate the repository type.

What is your GitHub account? I’ll add you to it. ## Thanks, kou ---

Out of curiosity, why not then use git on [sf.net](http://sf.net) if all the other resources remain there? Regards, Sbastien. ---

I guess we need to set a date as well. I can work on this today and tomorrow. Would it work with everyone if I prepare as much as possible today and perform the actual conversion tomorrow? > > I will also need access to the ruby-gnome2 group at GitHub. > What is your GitHub account?
