Following the release of 0.4.4, I've also copied it over to Github.

http://github.com/bmeloche/LightFront

I've been wanting to do this for a while now, but waited until this
release to do it. LightFront does keep seeming to follow in the shadow
of FW/1, though, as they did it last week. :-)

Now, that said, although I've been interested in Git for some time,
this is my first project in Git, so I may be completely clueless as to
what to do, now that it's there. :-)

I am going to keep the existing Subversion repository, for now, but
the Github project is there for anyone that wants to use it.

When I've finalized the CFObjective 2010 presentation code, I'll post
this on Github as well. I'm scheduled to present my common sense OO
CF talk that I presented at CFObjective Thursday, June 3rd at noon
Eastern time, 1600 GMT time (GMT -4).

What you'll probably find is folks forking the repo so they can add
their own enhancements and then sending you pull requests. I've
already seen that with a couple of people - one in particular
extending the framework in interesting new ways that I probably won't
pull in directly as-is but may consider adding enhancements that
provide similar functionality in, for me, a more idiomatic way (since
FW/1 is 'opinionated software' it has a 'way' of doing things that I'd
like to preserve).

I've moved completely to github for downloads, issues and
documentation (the wiki) leaving only pointers on RIAForge so that
there's less confusion over how to get the latest code, how to open
issues and/or where the current documentation is. The RIAForge forums
are not getting much traffic (I don't like forums anyway - I prefer
mailing lists) so I'm probably going to shut those down too. I'll
probably transfer the blog posts to my regular blog and shut down the
RIAForge blog too at some point.

I'll be interested to see what you decide to do in the long run.

In the long run, I'll probably be switching to Github. I just need to git :-) used to git. I see the benefits of forking and allowing more people to contribute.
