Re: Github for OU.org?

I really, really like to see solutions following the complaints. Thanks Lyrositor.
I'll mention a couple of quick things on point before I go outside for some yardwork to beat the rain.
1. Thanks. Rarified especially has worked hard to make these tools available for those who can use them.
2. Mercurial and Bitbucket was an initial spec of mine before there was open source and before the GoW selected Git and Github. I've already covered why I believe Bitbucket is the better fit for us. We were slow to open the repos on Bitbucket, but responded quickly to implement our plan when the h'uru devs asked for a social repo with pull requests to make it easier than using Foundry's Atlassian tools like JIRA, etc. The point here was folks could use Bitbucket exclusively and it would show up on the Foundry tools we use. I think its synchronized automatically once or twice a day. An internal point about the triad of Foundry, this website and Bitbucket is that multiple servers could be totally down but the managed repos and would almost certainly still be publicly available somewhere. Why do you feel you have to know about Foundry mechanisms if you are working through Bitbucket?
3. The question of why we don't use Bitbucket repos exclusively and just point the tools there is a great question for rarified. I think that has been answered before, but I would encourage rarified for the short answer here.
