[OpenSIPS-Users] [RFC] migration to GIT

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi,

Trying to summaries the status.

It is doable to move NEWS, Donations, file downloads and forums on 
opensips.org -> this will make GITHUB is an alternative to SF, hosting 
code repo and tracker.

So, after all everything reduces to GH versus SF, or what we have to 
gain from GH and what to loose from SF. IMO, GH is more friendly on GIT 
usage, but with SF we will loose "history" as bugs, contributors 
accounts, and a more complex project platform.

So, maybe a stupid question : the "pull request" is something specific 
to GIT (can be done on any GIT repo) or something specific to GITHUB only ?
