**NOTE**: This is an *opt out* move of Fedora-as-upstream packages to a new hosting service. If you feel your package(s) cannot participate in this move, you must explicitly state it on the wiki page. Read on for full details. Hey all. In the previous release cycle, we initiated a move of the modules hosted on rhlinux.redhat.com (aka i18n.r.c, elvis), over to Fedora systems [1]. The benefits are fairly obvious: work closer with the community, development efficiency (versioning system of choice baby!), administration ease (Fedora Account System, fedorahosted.org), well-integrated L10n tools, and a better translation workflow. Good stuff! :) We'll be having another, *final move* of the rest of the modules on the 18th of February 2008. The modules listed on the following coordination page are ones that Fedora is upstream, hosted on elvis, active, and receiving translations -- they will be moved to the maintainer's VCS of choice on Fedora Infrastructure. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/RFR/FinalElvisMove IIRC, we currently do cvs, svn, hg, git, bzr. Projects hosted on cvs.fedoraproject.org can receive translations directly. All modules will be listed on the Translation Statistics page [2] and will use Transifex [3] (already in production) for handling translation submissions from all translators. All past and present elvis contributors (developers, translators, foo) will be mass-emailed with information for the migration, and guided by existing teams to create Fedora accounts and continue their work. The process is *opt out*, so by default all modules listed on the above page will be *moved* (ie. deleted from elvis). Unless requested explicitly, default target is cvs.fpo. If you need one of the above mentioned modules to stay on elvis for a reason, please mark it clearly on the wiki page together with a justification. Any other information we should know (dead projects that shouldn't move, details we should take care, etc) -- just let us know on the wiki page.
