I assume that Falcon PL's github account is "unofficial" or else it would be up to date. I'm not sure if this is the best place to do this or not, but I would like to propose we make the account an Organization, that way multiple people from the Falcon developer team will have access to it and the ability to push the latest versions to it.

I'm a firm believer you have to stay visible to grow and seeing what appears to a dead project on Github probably isn't in our best interest.

Ok, it's an idea.

I am against using a third party resource as primary development
resource, but we can easily set the github relay to clone our main repo,
right?

Anyone volunteering to set it up?

I agree, you don't want to do your primary development on Github. But I think keeping the github clone up-to-date is a good idea. Much in the same vein as the Apache Software Foundation does (https://github.com/apache) or even Facebook (https://github.com/facebook).

I am totally for it. Again, someone around willing to lend a hand?

Gian.

Sorry I have both hands full but the following extract from a
conversation in gentoo-dev may be helpful

Q)
is there a way to do a way or two way sync between a repo on github and
on g.o.g.o?

A)
Alex Alexander wi...@gentoo.org

For every secondary repo you want to keep synced, add a pushurl entry

pushurl = <git-repo-url>

below your main "url =" line in the repo's .git/config file.
Git will automatically push to all pushurl entries automatically when
you "git push".

We do this in the Qt overlay (with gitorious atm):

[remote "origin"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
url = git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/qt.git
pushurl = g...@gitorious.org:gentoo-qt/qt.git

I would prefer to help by coding the engine but given my time is limited too maybe I can help with this.

What is involved?

Thanks
