I think this is the right move. I have been using it myself for a while now.

Hi all,

I think  that this move  definitely worth a  try. If possible  we should
also use GitHub issues instead of  trac. I imagine that the migration of
the wiki  would be  much more  pain. I think  they use  rst as  a markup
language and that it is possible to  have a local copy of the wiki (with
git)... This would be very useful.

Best,
Stéphane.

"You can never know everything", Lan said quietly, "and part of what you know is always wrong. Perhaps even the most important part. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway." Robert Jordan, Winter's Heart, Book IX of the Wheel of Time.

We have not succeeded in answering all of our problems. The answers we have found only serve to raise a whole set of new issues. In some ways we are as confused as ever, but we believe we are confused on a higher level and about more important things. (cited in Øksendal, 1985)
