> Seems like we're all pretty much in agreement that this needs to happen sooner 
> than later.  So, I'm scheduling the git/github migration aggressively, for 
> this Wednesday.  Key steps:
>
> 1) Notify the list prior to locking the svn repo and/or making it read-only.
>
> 2) We need to set up post-commit hooks to forward commit messages on to 
> bioperl-guts and elsewhere.  I have tried this out off github and so far it's 
> a little problematic (not working off bioperl-test, but working off my own 
> github commits).
>
> 3) The current bioperl github repos will all be replaced with their live 
> counterparts (branches and all), generated off the latest SVN via svn2git 
> (including metadata).  I'll have to reinstate collaborators at that time, but 
> the author mapping should be the same as before (DEVACCOUNT at bioperl.org, where 
> DEVACCOUNT is one's user name on dev.open-bio.org).
>
> 4) Update the wiki pages as needed to point to the github repo instead of the 
> code.open-bio.org one.  Also, I'm sure this will catch many devs not paying 
> attention to the list by surprise, so we'll need a developer migration page 
> set up.
