Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Tux4Kids main git repository?

[Bastien G. <bz...@gn...>]

Hi all,

thanks for these clarifications, very interesting.

I'm in favor of using free softwares as much as possible and of using
a very limited set of inclusive communication tools.

Using the debian repositories and a single mailing for all projects
would do IMHO*.

I very much agree with Holger about emails being more inclusive then
Hangout, both by design and because Hangout is not free.

I understand the idea of using github for the repos, and that's not a
real problem if you decide to go this way.

But I don't think using Hangout and Googles Groups is a good idea:
it's not free software and it splits the attention into many tools.

Anyway, back to my initial concern: Deepak, are you the official
maintainer for the Tux* projects?

If so, can you summarize the decisions on the repositories and the
communication channels so that I advertize it accurately on the
website?

Thanks in advance!


* I don't like *-devel@ mailing lists: users and developers should
talk to eachother in a single canal.  Remember the "you-don't-have-a
scalability-problem-yet" principle?  Same goes for communication: as
long as you don't need to split your lists for various audiences, just
use one list.  I guess 99% the -devel* mailing lists spread years ago
just by imitation, because it seemed a well-established practice.
