Thanks for all of the responses to my question about sourceforge last week. It seems unanimous (including some off email list conversations at Pycon) that the Jython project should move to python.org. While at Pycon I discussed this with Martin v. Löwis, and he went through the steps that it will take for moving the website and the code repository to python.org. This will take some time, but I have already received access to the web server to start moving over a test website. The CPython folks are planning a move to mercurial from subversion, but that might take a long time (IIRC they are trying to get it done this summer). Depending on timing, the repository move might be from our subversion to their subversion (in which case we would just go along for the svn->hg ride) or, if we take a long time getting ourselves together, we might just go straight to mercurial. Martin seemed to slightly prefer that we get over to svn first. There is also the issue of moving our mailing list over. Last year Barry Warsaw offered to help move the mailing lists over. I will ask him again to see how that would work. I have volunteered for each of these tasks, but if anyone wants to volunteer for parts of these tasks, things will probably happen faster. The tasks are: 1) Move the website (I have actually already started on this, but long term it would be nice to divide the work) 2) Move the repository over -- this is probably the most complicated of the tasks, beginning with gathering public ssh keys from all of the committers and getting them to the right places. 3) Help move the mailing list over, hopefully with Barry Warsaw's help. I do think that this is the right thing to do for us, and I'm grateful that the people at python.org are so willing to help. -Frank |

I've already discussed some mailman stuff with Barry, so I wouldn't mind helping out with this one. Regards, Alan. |

That would be great! I'll copy you on the emai then. -Frank |
