Thanks for the participation in the discussion around moving away from Launchpad. A lot of useful information was discovered and added to the document that makes the decision much less clear cut. Two biggies that let me think right now that we should stay on Launchpad for a bit longer is that they are working on git integration (makes the bzr deprecation moot) and that GitHub does not allow to attach arbitrary files to bug reports (savegames? log output?).

Posting this message to two mailinglist also made me think that we really should consolidate into one mailing list - and I suggest opening a Google Groups for widelands development and deprecating widelands-public@sourceforge and widelands-dev@launchpad. What do you think?

There are still some TODOs in the document that I need help with and some sections that others need to fill in. Could you all have another quick look over the doc and contribute information and comments as you can?

I think it is mostly a good idea, but I’d like to have a proper plan and have considered the alternatives. Therefore I started a design doc, world commentable that needs more fleshing out:
