#419 Move to GitHub, facilitate more contributions

[Ben Houston]

Hi all,

First off, I love MeshLab. I want to contribute. My company has created http://Clara.io, an online 3D modeling and rendering tool in addition to a ton of widely used 3D tools here: http://Exocortex.com.

We'd like to integrate MeshLab into Clara.io. We also see some missing features in MeshLab that we would like to contribute. We have a history of open source contributions, in particular to Three.JS.

It would be preferable to move this project to Github.com -- it will encourage a lot more contributions than being on SourceForge. I can help with that move if necessary.

Here is how to convert: https://help.github.com/articles/importing-from-subversion/

Projects thrive on Github and the time for MeshLab to shine is now with the rise of 3D printing.

Can we move the project?

Best regards,
Ben Houston

Definitely Agree. It is on the way. We already did it for the vcg library (aka the mesh processing core of meshlab) that now is on https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/vcglib/ and meshlab is the next one.
