Hello,
I'm considering moving these pygame.org <http://pygame.org> services
to bitbucket.org <http://bitbucket.org>
* issues - since our bugzilla maintainer wants to move onto other
things.
* wiki - it just a directory in our version control, can be edited
via the web. Better spam control on bitbucket. We will need to
convert some stuff from html into 'creol' format. The wiki pages
off bitbucket will be mirrored onto the pygame website.
* hg - (source version control) distributed version control for the win.
* downloads - easier for multiple people to upload binaries rather
than just the web maintainer. We will mirror the bitbucket
downloads onto the pygame.org/ftp/ <http://pygame.org/ftp/> directory.
The pypy project has used it, and I think they are quite happy with
it. I've also been using it over the last number of months and it
seems fine.
Why not git/github? SDL and python both use mercurial (hg) now. So
should pygame.
If people are cool with this, I'll start working on a transition
plan. Things like creating an author map between subversion/hg,
planning the conversion from subversion, and writing the mirror tools
(for downloads and wiki).
cheers!
