Updates on postponed release (v 9.4) The release has been postponed because of a complication with the new server. There are several ways to make the release process simpler, although they may not address the complications of the new server.
GitLab vs. GitHub vs. SVN
Two ultimate questions: where do we publish guidelines, and where does the code base live (Sourceforge or elsewhere)?
GitHub/GitLab offer more automation for the release process. We could also stage draft guidelines using Git Pages.
Migration might be complicated. It depends on what of all the content we decide to migrate. We could leave existing issues and other pages on SF.
In order to consider the pros and cons of migrating the guidelines into GitHub, and potentially reconsidering where we are hosting the EpiDoc package
Smaller working group will bring a proposal back to the rest of the group (HC, GB, EMy, TKo, AS); report back by September
HC, GB, and some others should meet with Tom to discuss the prognosis of the current complications as well as the possibility of migration
