[Opensim-dev] GForge gone ?

[Melanie]

It was decided a long time ago to host these projects independently. Code warehouses bear the risk of becoming permanently unavailable as well as the risk that they will, like SourceForge, start to aggressively monetize in morally questionable ways.

As the entire hosting of forge is something I undertake at my own expense and using my own time, I made the decision to migrate to Git and a github-like software by myself, prompted by the server it used to be on going away.

Greetings,

Was this migration discussed somewhere? I'm curious as to why OpenSim does not move to GitHub and use the PullRequest system to make it easier for non-core contributions?

Thanks,
Blake
