Google announced yesterday that it is shutting down its Google Code
project hosting service[1]. Per the scheduled sunset, on August 24,
2015 the site -- and with it, the Subversion Book development
repositories -- will go read-only. That means we have a decision to
make about where to relocate our project hosting.<br>
<br>
In the interest of straight shooting, let's just say it: GitHub has
won the project hosting battle. So it is my recommendation that we
begin the process of migrating the svnbook repository and issue
tracking to GitHub. Google has even made this process pretty easy
with a semi-automated GitHub migration tool (that I've now used for
three of my personal projects).<br>
<br>
I'll certainly entertain other ideas, if only to see if in 2015
there <i>are</i> actually any other valid ideas. Given that there
are only about three people who ever commit to this repository, I'm
not expecting waves of feedback. That's fine. Just wanna get this
out there for any discussion that may need to happen.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
