kicad-developers team mailing list archive

[Chris Pavlina <pavlina.chris@xxxxxxxxx>]

At the risk of sounding curt - search the mailing list archive, we've 
been discussing this for a *long* time, including a thread that was 
active in just the last couple days. We're looking into moving to git 
(not necessaily github, but possibly), it's just a large task (and there 
maaaaaay be a bit of bikeshedding going on ;)

Most of the developers can't stand using Launchpad, so I don't think 
you'll have to wait all *that* long ;)

The reason I ask is that I believe that Github is a lot more user friendly, especially for newcomers, and I think that the project would benefit from an easier start to getting involved.  Is there a plan for moving over to Github soon?  What’s limiting that transition, and is there any way that I could help with such a move?
