Re: [Jython-dev] Early move to hg.python.org for Jython?

[Jim B. <jb...@zy...>]

I am very much in favor of this early move. Mercurial is robust, so it's
just a question of capturing this history. With Dirkjan's able help, I'm
quite confident of this process. And it will also help the Python community
as a whole.
