If I, as the developer of the FOO Haskell package, want to move to use github, can I get a source repo under that organisation as well? I'm asking since I am considering taking some of my packages from patch-tag to github (it's really github I want, it's unfortunate that it also means I'll have to leave darcs), it would then be nice to have those repos as a part of the haskell organisation.

The GitHub organization was intended for core packages (i.e. packages in the Haskell Platform.) By having a shared organization, these libraries don't have to live under any single developer's account and we can change maintainers without changing the repo location.

Fair enough. Do you have enough buy-in to make sure that the github organisation becomes the best location for *all* HP packages? That is, can I stop going to Hackage to find the home for HP packages? /M -- Magnus Therning                        (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org          Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus         identi.ca|twitter: magthe
