[BioRuby] BioRuby on github + lighthouse

[Pjotr Prins]

Hi All,

In view of my recent bibtex commit fiasco - which I thought an
improvement, but probably was a regression as N. pointed out and
rolled back - I favour moving the sources to a non-centralized
repository. This will allow individual development where the main
maintainers can cherry-pick individual patches for inclusion in the
stable and development trees.

Toshiaki, both Jan and I want to ask you to check out this technology
and take the lead by moving a 'blessed' branch into github. The
alternative is that I do the same thing - both cases will allow you
to continue as before, but some development will be on git branches.

Technology does not solve problems - like the problem of lack general
action in the source tree - but at least git will allow people to have
a sense of freedom. And it is up to the central maintainers what to
include and what not. Much like the role Linus plays in kernel
development.

As ever, with respect,

Pj.
