Re: [Rails-devel] Webstart / github / Java 8 (was: Rails 2.0 alpha 3 available)

As far as I can tell, Sourceforge doesn't support HTTPS on their web
hosting.

I'm generally in favor of using Github, as I already use it for my day job.
If everybody is in favor, I can create a new organization on github to
manage the repository. Once I receive github usernames from key
contributors, I can add them as admins on the Org.
