Hi,
I wrote some code for griffith some time ago and so I know the code a
bit and I have quite a good experience in python and this type of
hacking/scraping. I was thinking of looking at the latest code offers
and finding a way to merge them when I realized that from when
berilios closed
a) I can't find the upstream repo anymore
b) I probably lost my commit auth
c) I can't understand where the official development takes place

So, here is my proposal: let's move to GitHub. Some good reasons:
a) It has GREAT fork/pull model, issues system and code discussion
method (for example it would be really easier to handle that
filesystem plugin issue on GitHub, trust me)
b) It has a wide community, I actually contibuted a lot to some
projects found just exploring GitHub
c) You can use git (an awesome tool, you should) but also svn and hg
if you know them better

So, who has the updated tree? And who should approve this move (if
there is consensus and no reply from the lead we can also go by
ourselves)?

Hi, some progress on a repository address etc would be great.   I'm all for github although if the devel-mailing lists are on googlecode, then perhaps that might be an option?
Personally, I have no experience and defer to your better judgement.  I would really like to add my plugins though.
 
Bogdan, I'll send you the code as soon as I got it.  I used glade and a dialog to get the file path, and I scrapped up my code quickly (while I learnt) so I have yet to put proper exception handling in it.
 
Cheers
