Ciao Roger,
a big +1 from me, GitHUB (and Git) propose a much better collaborative
environment.
The only problem we have is that none of our repository is Git based,
but unless objections I think we could start with these ...
Could you make some check on converting (with all history if possible) ?
If yes, does it makes sense to keep them at Google code (maybe only in
a freeze status) ?
Last, the same could be applied to Pivot-JFree ?
Bye,
Sandro
