Hi Bill,

I think the "Fruit Of The Shed" is intended to serve as that archive, but I'm not sure what "versioning" support it has; my understanding is that Wiki's generally version their pages, but not any attachments to them.

I'm also uncertain as to who the "Administrator" is, it may be "CaptainBoing" or he may simply be the most ardent contributor. Either way he is likely to be the best person to offer guidance on the existing facilities/workflow.

I'm not convinced that github (or the like) will serve if there are multiple contributors and no controller/archivist, it sounds like a recipe for anarchy, but then again up until now I've never been a contributor to "open-source". Also, no offence intended to them, but some of the grey-beards with hardware rather than software backgrounds might initially struggle ... more likely there will just be some good natured complaining about "young people"

Personally I am using github to manage my own projects, only one of which is currently "public": https://github.com/thwill1000/zmim

Regards,

Tom
