On the thread someone wanted to add something to the manual, but didn't have SVN access. The admin wasn't getting email, and thus couldn't grant the new account. The material was not added the to manual.

If the manual was on github, it could have been forked, branched, content added, pull request made. End of story. So we do want the features of github.

I like git because of its features. And when I don't need those features, I prefer svn because of its simplicity. Where is the pain? What would be the benefit when moving to github?

-1 (not worth the trouble for me)

(On the other hand, if you sent me some bitcoins, I would be glad to copy contextman to github. ;)
