Github?

[J.C. Woltz]

Git is like a better svn. Github adds a few features that should help with development and patches from the community. Git in general allows people to make forks, patches, then a pull request to ask patch be merged into the mailscanner repo. 

I think this will help relieve some administrative pressure from Julian. Since he posted everything including the setup he uses to create packages/installers. 

Before people had to submit patches. Julian had to figure out a way to integrate them. Github and git specifically allows the pull requests to ease some of this. 

For thos unfamiliar with git in general, github has some nice tutorials. 

I usderstand there are other git websites similar to github. The other sites even open source their whole site. Please do not turn this into a flame on github

Lastly, I apologize for top posting. The blackberry will not let me edit the email I'm replying to. 

Thank you,
J.C. Woltz

This will be for developers/contributors only. Once the patches are approved from Julian, he should add the sources to mailscanner.info. I guess you could call the git-hub source, bleeding edge.

I've never used github, so I need some tutoring. After viewing their site, I'm not sure I'm seeing it the way I should be seeing it.

Will the downloads still be at the same place as before? Is github just for the coding, modification, and patching of MS by developers, or will this be where we download our stuff from to install it?
