Re: [Python.NET] Moving the project to github
+1 on that! I would love to see the official code base move to git and ideally github.com. The current situation, with an official very inactive repository and forks that are more current is really not good for the project. I also simply think that if the project was on github it would be easier to find people to contribute. I guess the main question is whether the three maintainers of the official project think this is a good idea, and if yes, then to do the migration. I'd be happy to help with the latter.

It would be good if work could consolidate on a single source base. I think moving to github would help with that, certainly makes merging Tony's changes with the official release easier. This is a really useful project, I am finding it wonderful to be able to use .NET and cpython seamlessly + it would be good not to fragment the user base by having multiple versions of the code.
