If we're going the git route (which is a good idea), I suggest *not* using github. Github has terms of service that can change without notice in problematic ways. The tz collective is large enough that there should be no problem in hosting our own git server, such as the one that Yann Droneaud has provided as a prototype. Ideally we'd have a git server hosted at munnari. I think a single repository covering both code and data files would be better than separate code and data repositories. The two parts are too interconnected to work with separately. Btw, I was one of the unlucky sods (maybe the only unlucky sod?) who, having joined tz@elsie only a week ago, was omitted from the initial subscriber list for tz@iana. Good work getting things going so quickly. -zefram
