As SourceForge put up several restrictions regarding project maintenance and administration which makes maintaining wxCode sometimes quite cumbersome and as a single SourceForge project is not very well suited for maintaining a big collection of only loosely coupled components I definitely support your experiment. > I think this way will improve wxCode project with a better organization, > having: > > - more than one maintainer for each component project For the wxCode SourceForge project in effect every project member could work on *all* components. The SourceForge SVN doesn't support a fine-grained access control. > - create more components categories (e.g. pre and post wx 2.9, > 'wxSnippets' for dead/wxCode external projects etc.) Introducing new component categories could be easily added on SF wxCode as well, but only an administrator could do it. > - use git hooks / custom scripts for easy websites/components maintainance This would be definitely much better than what have now. > - more flexible repositories inside a unique wxCode 'github organization' This would also be a big advantage. > - more than one repository for each component project (like the usual > trunk/tags/branches) AFAIK on the SF wxCode SVN tags weren't used at all, probably because tagging would really mean to tag wxCode as a whole what just isn't the right thing for independent components. > - get component fixes via github pull requests instead usual patch files As I seldom received patch files for my own components over the last 7 years I can't judge how important this feature might be for other wxCode maintainers. > This will be something I would like to try to do as an experimental/demo > project to let you see how it will works and also get possible > suggestions time by time and, if successful, consider a future transition. I think it's an interesting idea and I'm curious to hear about the first experiences of you. Maybe this could give wxCode a new impulse to get a better image and to get into a better shape.
