[Gwt-openlayers-devl] moving to Bitbucket

[Edwin C. <com...@gm...>]

Dear GWT OpenLayers developers,

In order to make better use of the distributed version control system
we are using I would like to propose to move the code over to
Bitbucket. I would see the following advantages:

- Easy workflow for code contributions: Any Bitbucket user can fork,
submit code to their fork, and issue a pull request (versus the mails
with patches we get now)
- Hg repo works over https (which is easier to get going than SSH and
uses a port that is unlikely to be blocked by enterprise firewalls)
- Nicer online code browsing interface (whole Bitbucket interface is
clean and simple)
- Nice features like follow commits via RSS, of follow on Bitbucket
- Might attract even more developers, as Bitbucket is a social coding site.

The static web pages, issue tracker, and downloadable artifacts can
all remain at SourceForge. Downloads could be offered both at SF and
Bitbucket.

I have already made a fork that is on BitBucket to try stuff out:
https://bitbucket.org/ecommandeur/gwt-openlayers

We might want to make a user gwtopenmaps on bitbucket and place
gwt-openlayers under that user. If everybody (at least al admins)
agree, then I will do that.

Greetings,
Edwin Commandeur
