I have been asked about migrating Minsky to github over a number of years, and since I have more recently started using github more extensively in other projects, I have now bowed to the inevitable. The is now a tracking repo available at https://github.com/highperformancecoder/minsky. What is a tracking repo? Put simply, it is a repository that will be merged with the actual Minsky repository on a semi-periodic basis. Pull requests issued against it will be incorporated into the Minsky baseline at some point. The subversion repository on sourceforge, which was only ever a tracking repo, has now been eliminated in favour of the github repository. The github repository has a number of advantages over the sourceforge respository, including: 1) The ability to fork and issue pull requests. This allows anyone to submit contributions without first gaining authorisation to the repository. Very useful for projects where the admin is asleep at the wheel (not that that describe me, of course). 2) Continuous integration and superior code review tools. I will look into these at a future date. For now, the wiki and issue tracker will remain with SourceForge. There is not a good enough reason to migrate this data to github. Obviously, the use of the file release system reamins unchanged. If you are a died in the wool subversion user, github supports a subversion interface that allows the use of subversion tooling. But you might want to consider moving to git anyway.
