[Po4a-devel] Alioth is closing, po4a needs a new home very soon

Hello pals, it was decided that the alioth hosting service will be soon decommissioned[1] next month, and we should move the development to another hosting service. I should have done that mail before, sorry. The git itself was already mirrored on github[2], so I will just change the README and everything to point to github instead. The web server can also be hosted on github, but this has still to be done and I'm really short on time. Any help would be welcome here. The source code of the web pages were already mirrorred on github[3], but we should take care of the hosting. The most concerning parts are this mailing list, and the issues that are reported on alioth. For the issues, I could not find any tool to move them to github and I fear that we would have to it manually. Does someone know such an automatic tool or would be willing to do the move? If we have an automatic tool, I'd like to move the closed issues also, as they contain valuable information. If not I think we should at least copy the open issues over. Again, any help would be welcome here. For the mailing lists, I have no good idea. Do you? If the list gets shut down on Feb 1st as it could, we have the IRC channel to coordinate: #po4a on oftc. I have a permanent presence on that channel so it could work as a (very) temporarily solution. But someone should come up with a better idea, I think. Again, I'm sorry for the short notice, I'm trying to do too much things at the same time these days. Bye, Mt.
