Great to hear from you!

The easiest way is to build it is to clone the github repo (git clone
https://github.com/fishman/ctags.git) and do the normal building
steps.

All the code in the SVN is already in the github repo. We think the
best way is to start/continue using git and store the repository at
github.

At the moment the repo is a personal repository of Reza Jelveh aka
"fishman". We want to convert that repository into an organization.
One of the advantages of organizations on github is that is gives you
more control over permissions and it is not tied to one person
anymore. And by converting the repo all the history already build is
preserved. Once it is converted, we use that git repository as the new
upstream repository.

I already created an organization named "exuberant-ctags"
https://github.com/exuberant-ctags

At this moment it is still empty, but I will set it up any time soon.
That means adding the collaborators of the current repo as owner or
developer and then move the repository. I want to add you as an owner
as well, but I need to know your github account name for that. Of
course, the original members of the sf-team can be added as well if
they are still interested in ctags.

After that I think we can prepare a release. Some cleanup (both code
and docs) has to done, but it is pretty stable code.

Frank
