From now on, +the 'genodelabs/genode' repository is where the current development happens: + +:[https://github.com/genodelabs - Genode Repository at GitHub]: + +To follow the development of the master branch, you may like to subscribe +to the corresponding Atom feed: + +:[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/commits/master.atom - Commit Feed]: + +In addition to having moved the code over to the new repository, our +documentation and website underwent several changes: + +* The genode.org website has been migrated away from the original Plone + CMS to an entirely static custom-made CMS that fetches its content + from the 'genodelabs/genode' repository. Thereby, most of the web-site + content has been incorporated into the repository and will be managed + through Git. + +* The Wiki is no more. Its content has been moved to the normal documentation + section. By using Git for the documentation, the process of contributing to + the documentation is streamlined with the process of how code contributions + are handled. + +* The how-to-contribute documention has been rewritten, taking the new + GitHub repository into account: + + :[http:/community/contributions]: + Contributing to Genode + +So far, our experience with using GitHub for hosting the Genode development +has been a smooth and overly enjoyable ride. We hope you will appreciate the +greatly liberated development process as much as we do. + + Genode at FOSDEM | 2012-01-04 #############################
