Hello Inkscape Developers,
I was able to convert the bzr repo into a git repository yesterday using https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/remote-helpers/git-remote-bzr
What I'm suggesting we do is to create an "Inkscape" orgranisation e.g. (https://github.com/wikimedia) on Github and put up a read-only git-mirror of Inkscape's sources (which will be updated periodically, say once a week).
I think this will surely increase the "visibility" of Inkscape's sources and the Inkscape organisation, in general, and we may be able to get new contributors. A lot of other projects seem to do this, even though actual development happens elsewhere.
IIRC, cloning a git repository is a lot faster, so, this might help people submit patches quicker.
Regular development can continue in Launchpad, as usual.
Is this a reasonable idea?
Samuel
