I don't understand what is going on. I though some people were very
unsatisfied with the rietveld code review tool offered by Google Code,
and Nemo created some new tools to be used instead of rietveld and
mercurial. Of course Nemo's tools don't work with Google Code hosting
so the project is moved at lsub, and by design the old mailing list,
nix-...@googlegroups.com, is tied with the Google Code project, so a
new mailing list has to be used instead.

So what's this fork I'm hearing about? Someone wants to maintain the
mercurial repository independent of the work done at lsub? Who? Why?

If this is not the case, and I hope it isn't, destroy the Google Code
project. Delete it, there's no point for this confusion. Personally I
would have preferred that the mercurial repository would have remained
the place where nix development would happen. I believe the problems
people felt with rietveld could be solved by running a private
instance of rietveld, instead of the generic one at Google, but
whatever, I have no say in this. Just keep it in one place if there's
no schism happening.

So what's happening? John's message on nix-dev@ adds more to this confusion...
