I am pleased to announce the formation of the Friends of Inform 7 @ GitHub!

This I7 Github organisation is an informal group of I7 programmers and their projects. My hope is that GitHub will make it easier to cooperate and work on I7 extensions together.

Our main focus is the extensions repository. At the moment only my extensions are found in it, but I hope many other extension authors will join me. If you would like to keep track of the changes in your extensions, would like an easy bug tracker, or would like someone else to help you fix bugs or even just take a look over your code, then this is for you. Just ask, and we'll give you access.

I7 @ GitHub is also the new home of the ATTACK and Kerkerkruip projects.

Lastly Isxek has moved his extensions archive to the organisation. If you need an old version of an extension, we might be able to help.

We will welcome any other Inform 7 related projects, so if you have any ideas, just ask!

I'm slightly confused about signing up. It appears that there is price to join. Am I correct or not?

GitHub is free for people working on open-source projects. You get a paid membership if you want to set up a project with private contents.

There's nothing on the i7 organization page which says how to join... I assume the organizers just add people. Feel free to add me (erkyrath).

You might want to add a readme section explaining what the group is and who to contact about joining. I mean, if there's a way to set that up. (I've never tried it.)

Yeah, and how does this work, forking and sending pull requests or pushing to a shared repo? Anyway, feel free to add me (peterorme) too.

As far as I can work out you are a member of the organisation when you're given access to one of the repositories. So I'll give you both access to the extensions repository. If you'd like access to another repository, or would like to add a new one, just ask!

There isn't any place to put anything like an about box or a blurb, but I can put an email address and website on it, so I'll look into setting up a very simple website at i7.github.com as well.

Can you post your e-mail address?

thanks

I already replied to your other topic, but for the record it is curiousdannii@gmail.com

thanks, I didn't see it but now I have.

i have some i7 related weirdness on github, like the git project template that could use some love..but....

Cool! This inspired me to get a GitHub account.

At which point I discovered that they have not read this:

I would expect GitHub to know better.

Anyway, my extensions are currently in svn and hosted at http://eyeballsun.org/i/ - but I've been thinking about switching to Git, so I'd love to join.
