Hi,
oops, so I decided to unbundle this question from the previous post,
but forgot to modify the subject line...When the git-scm.com site gets refined a bit further, it might make a
lot of sense to make http://git.or.cz/index.html a redirect to
http://git-scm.com/ and thus delegate the new site to the official Git
homepage. Of course, I would be transferring the control of the homepage
from my hands so I would like to poll the community about how do people
feel about this - opinion of core Git contributors would be especially
welcome; I find myself rather happy with the new site, so I will
implicitly take silence as an agreement.Here is a breakdown of possible pros and cons that come on my mind:
+ The new site has much nicer and more catchy design.
+ The new site seems to have a lot of potential to grow to a rather
comprehensive resource.
+ The new site would probably have much more active maintainer. ;-)- The new site is affiliated with a commercial entity - GitHub.
The website maintainer also has commercial interest in some published
Git learning materials, which might generate certain conflict of
interests; we must trust them that they handle this well.
- Both GitHub and Scott seem to be rather distanced from the "core"
Git development community. This might or might not be an issue.
- The new site is implemented in much more complicated way than the
old one, having a full-fledged Ruby on Rails machinery behind it and
linking to bunch of obfuscated JavaScript code; I don't think it's that
big a deal, though.The negatives section writeup is longer, but in fact I think the
positives win here; I also have a bit of bad conscience about not giving
git.or.cz the amount of time it would deserve...P.S.: To simplify matters, I talk only about index.html, but of course
it would make sense to transfer both the SVN Crash Course _AND_ the Git
Wiki along; we might keep the Cogito homepage for purely historical
interest too, I don't know.--
