Oren, Thanks for putting forth the plan. I too will not make an argument for or against a fork of the project. After all it is an open source project. Connamara is ready to help. We currently host the builders, Jenkins and are willing to continue doing so. We would also welcome another administrator. We can take the lead on making the move to GitHub and a new release.
