Github?

Why don't you guys move over to GitHub? It would be easier to track issues and receive contributions (pull requests).

It used to be on Github, but it was moved from there to SVN for reasons I don't know

Re: Github?

Another great feature of GitHub is the wiki. Tesseract could use some help with docs.

eihrul tends to dislike external contributions like patches, he also prefers SVN to GIT (a repository like Tesseract is better off as a SVN repository, since there are a lot of binary files, which GIT doesn't handle as well in SVN in terms of repository file size).

Re: Github?

Mercurial handles binaries better and is supported by BitBucket, which also features Tickets & PR's:

http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/LargefilesExtension

But i don't see why PR's are a bad thing. People can easily fork the repository, make their changes, and state what's new or modified in a simple way. Then, repository maintainers can decide if that's a good addition or not. If he doesn't like patches or contributions, is this a really open project?

Re: Github?

As with Sauerbraten and Cube, I think the core devs would like to write the code themselves. The project seems open as far as art/scripting goes, but not in terms of code. Someone please let me know if I'm wrong.
