Re: [Wxformbuilder-devel] SourceForge

[Ryan P. <rpu...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am very excited to see the interest in wxFormbuilder. I would love to
have the development moved over to GitHub. I would be happy to start a
project and add whoever would like to help the migration. SourceForge is
not the best place for development anymore. I am a developer of
wxFormbuilder, but I have moved to more web development so my role has
changed to project management and would be open to new developers.

I've created that organization as a placeholder (https://github.com/
> wxFormBuilder), but I really hope the wxWidgets devs say yes.


I would like to be added as the owner/administrator or the wxFormBuilder
organization please (rjpcomputing). I can migrate the code to 2 projects:
1) wxFormBuilder 2) wxAddition Plugin project. Now if the wxWidgets devs
say it is ok to join their GitHub organization that can change.

Please realize that wxFormBuilder is worked on from time to time. It
doesn't seem dead. I see a commit from 3 months ago. The project isn't good
about releasing. We would love new developers. Please consider this an
official call for more developers.

We would love the help. Please let me know your GitHub username and I will
add anyone willing to help. I don't think I will be able to help too much.

We are also open to CMake, so please feel free to change that.

Please let me know what the next steps would be.
