<p>Hello all, <br>
</p>
<p>I would be very happy, if the sources would be ported to
something with Git. <br>
</p>
<p>I also thought about using just Github, or even a self hosted
instance of Gitea. <br>
</p>
<p>But I think it could not provide, what a forum and/or dedicated
wiki can provide. <br>
I think the users are a bit too restricted, to what Github
provides. Also for a true open source project with Linux,
Microsofts Github.com would not be the perfect choice, I think. <br>
</p>
<p>Dokuwiki provides plugins for almost everything. I'm really very
happy with that! Github's Wiki is not very powerful at all. <br>
</p>
<p>@Florian, how do you think about a dedicated DokuWiki and phpBB
or Discourse? <br>
I think it would perfectly fit into your domain etherlab.org, but
I have no influence on that. <br>
</p>
<p>If no one starts some collaboration platform, I'll just go ahead.
It costs about 50€/year on Netcup.de, nothing to worry about. <br>
If IgH could provide that, I would also be very happy. <br>
</p>
<p>@Niko: Thanks for the hint to registered trademarks (or somthing
like that) for EtherCAT and EtherLab. How about using this in a
domain name?<br>
</p>
<p>By all means we should take care, that the community isn't split
up into different similar tools. <br>
</p>
<p>That's my two cents. <br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards, <br>
Karl<br>

we are thinking about moving our sources from SourceForge to Github.
This would also allow to use Github's infrastructure (issue tracker,
wiki, projects, discussions, merge requests, ...).
Though it means that the revision control system has to be changed from
Mercurial to Git. But I think this is no major problem for anyone here?!
Regarding the current discussion, we decided to move on with our Github
plans. We are currently also discussing about the naming, but I am
expecting, that we will find a solution until end of this week.
