Martin, Because of leagalise, we can't allow a github-style open-source project. Apache affords us a legal protection for not only contributes, but those companies that need to use the software. Because of this, all the contributes need to sign a legal agreement (the ICLA) that releases the rights to anything contributed before they get read/write access to the repository. GitHub doesn't allow us to have the same control -- plus Apache has already built a very nice infastrcture to handle all of our needs.
I know people have talked about making a mirror of the SVN (and soon, Git) repos on GitHub, but any changes committed to those mirrors will be orphaned. -Nick On Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 10:34 AM, Martin Heidegger <m...@leichtgewicht.at>wrote: > On 14/02/2012 00:25, Kevin Korngut wrote: > >> If you do a search on the list there's a post from Bertrand, "FYI, I have >> requested a Git mirror for Flex", it's not much of a thread so I'll repost >> what was said there: >> > Git is not github.
