[dbunit-user] Any chances for moving to GitHub?

[Bartosz M. <bar...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

as a long time GitHub user I find it a bit cumbersome to even find the way
how I could potentially contribute to DBUnit which I've been using for
years. To be honest I have no clue how to do it through SourceForge besides
attaching patches.

I am creator of Arquillian Persistence
Extension<https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-extension-persistence>which
heavily relies on DBUnit and would love to get some of my bits merged
into the core (for instance YAML and JSON datasets). I have also noticed
that other <http://sourceforge.net/p/dbunit/mailman/message/27263683/>
people <http://sourceforge.net/p/dbunit/mailman/message/28039875/> were
offering some contributions to DBUnit putting their code on GitHub. I
believe it would be way easier for all of us to get involved and contribute.

Therefore I would like to ask you if you consider moving there. If so I can
help you setting everything up:

* Moving Git repo (that's obvious)
* Migrating issues (this <https://github.com/ttencate/sf2github> could be a
good starting point)
* Bringing CI (also for pull requests - see how JBoss Forge
guys<https://github.com/forge/core/pull/391>can easily verify code
contributions against their master)
* And so on (eg. revamped website hosted together under dbunit organization
umbrella under github)

Let's improve "getting involved" step by simplifying it and move this great
framework forward.

What do you think about it?

Cheers,
Bartosz
