Hi Javi,

I too would like to get more developers and activity with source available on 
Github.  Hopefully you can help us do it.

One problem that we had in the past concerning use of Github is caused by large 
machine learning models in ctakes.  Github has file size limits for 
repositories and some of our models surpassed these limits, which caused a 
corruption of the original migration attempt and errors with subsequent 
auto-merge checkins.  ctakes had to be removed from the svn : github 
"mirroring".

While large files (models, etc.) can be hosted as "release" binaries in github, 
modifying ctakes' github use in such a way breaks mirroring that would keep 
both the apache svn and github repositories synchronized.  Removing the large 
model files from the svn area could require further customization of not only 
that layout but also getting things published in maven central.

There might be a simple way to reorganize files, simply maintain version 
control on large files, keep repository mirroring and publication automated and 
document the whole paradigm so that a community can support it.  Unfortunately, 
when this topic was last visited nobody authored or implemented such a solution.

It has been many years since this topic was discussed, maybe some fresh 
perspectives or modernizations can get ctakes on github.

Thanks,
Sean

I've just seen the development is based on subversion.

It looks like some movement for migrating the subversion to GitHub (most of
ASF projects migrated to github) in this issue [1], however the issue was
created at 19/Nov/17 (it's in progress) and there aren't updates.

I would like to open this discussion (fully migration to git) in order to
get more developers and activity with an easier interface.

Many thanks.
