</div>Sounds good. I have a preference for a canonical git repo at <a href="http://c-l.net" target="_blank">c-l.net</a>,<br>
although a pointer from the <a href="http://c-l.net" target="_blank">c-l.net</a> web page to one on github would be<br>
ok. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>I read this mail after I did the git migration, but I did it like that. </div><div>The docs are still on common-lisp but mentions the github url.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
What I'd like us to avoid is that mess where there are a dozen<br>
github repos for the same library, and no one knows which one is<br>
canonical. </blockquote><div> </div><div>I did a git-repo here: <a href="https://github.com/hankhero/cl-json">https://github.com/hankhero/cl-json</a></div><div>I am not sure it would add something to host it on <a href="http://common-lisp.net">common-lisp.net</a> instead.

I don't really get github's additional structure on top of vanilla git<br>
