Sendero

Title *

Summary

Description *The Sendero project code has now been migrated to <a href="http://git.or.cz" target="_blank">Git</a> from Subversion and <a href="http://www.redmine.org/" target="_blank">Redmine</a> will replace Trac as the issue-tracking/project management system. I will be using <a href="http://gitorious.org" target="_blank">Gitorious.org</a> for repository hosting and my own service for the Redmine project. Here are the new URL's: * Redmine Issue-tracking/Project Management:<a href="http://projects.practivist.org/projects/show/sendero">http://projects.practivist.org/projects/show/sendero</a> * Gitorious Site: <a href="http://gitorious.org/projects/sendero">http://gitorious.org/projects/sendero</a> * Public Git Clone URL's: ** git://gitorious.org/sendero/mainline.git ** <a href="http://git.gitorious.org/sendero/mainline.git">http://git.gitorious.org/sendero/mainline.git</a> Mirrors will also be available at the following addresses: * HTTP Clone URL: <a href="http://git.practivist.org/sendero.git">http://git.practivist.org/sendero.git</a><a href="http://git.practivist.org/sendero.git" target="_blank"></a> * Gitweb interface that publishes .tar.gz snapshots: <a href="http://gitweb.practivist.org/sendero.git">http://gitweb.practivist.org/sendero.git</a> I have chosen Git because I felt it offered the best promise in turns of workflow, branching, and accepting submissions from contributors. I especially like that through services like Gitorious, contributors can easily create public clones and then ask for upstream merges I considered Mercurial, but Git seemed to be the more powerful solution for the long run. I do admit that the learning curve for Git is slightly larger, but I believe this will pay off. The Ruby on Rails people seem to be happy and I'm hopeful it will work equally well for Sendero. In order to contribute to Sendero, simply go to the gitorious site, create a public clone (you will have to get a free gitorious account first), and push your changes. When you have something that you would like incorporated into the mainline branch, post me a merge request and I will either integrate the changes or respond with comments. You may also notice that I have created a sub-project <a href="http://gitorious.org/projects/sendero_base">SenderoBase</a>. This includes basic parts of the Sendero framework (such as JSON parsing) that I would like available under a more liberal license (at this point LGPL). Anyway, I am making active efforts to develop the framework and I would like to encourage community involvement. I will post more information as to the direction I would like to take the project as soon as possible and hopefully these announcements will be welcome news.
