Here is the current status of the git web page project. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2014-11/msg00001.html Assaf was attempting to actually convert all of the current repositories to git. I think we need to support both cvs and git and leave the legacy pages in cvs without touching them. But make pages available to projects in additional systems other than cvs. And at that point others are easier. But at the current time there is only the additional git for web pages. But one must start with something in order to work through the development. Personally I don't find cvs web pages a hardship at all. > We do have painfully limited staff time, but if someone wants to > implement other VCS for web pages, I personally would be extremely > happy.

I am traveling this next ten days. Actually camped out in Wayne NE on an annual trek to Oshkosh, WI, for a fly-in. So mostly I am going to have small snippets of time on the laptop from a picnic table while swatting mosquitos away all of the while. :-) > (GNA was not run by FSFE btw.) Right. And personally I think that is one of the reasons it eventually shut down. It wasn't part of either the FSF or FSFE. Bob
