Sorry for the belated response: this move looks fine to me.

Hi,

I have create a Dynare repository on GitHub:

 https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare

As you may know, GitHub has become the most popular platform for
collaborative development of free software. It is user friendly and
makes contributions very easy via a “Pull request” mechanism. It is also
possible to add comments to specific commits (before or after they are
merged), so reviewing is made easy.

Do you think it would be a good decision to decide that the main Dynare
repository is the GitHub one?

On the upside, I think this could attract new contributors by lowering
the barrier to entry. On the downside, it means that we lose control of
our hosting architecture (though we would maintain a mirror on Kirikou
at the address where the main repository currently is).

We could also move the Trac tickets to the GitHub “issues” system. There
is also a Wiki on GitHub, but I think we should rather keep our existing
wiki.

Stéphane and Michel: I have already granted you push/pull access to the
repository, using your respective GitHub accounts (stepan-a,
MichelJuillard).

Waiting for your feedback,
