We want to +change that. To make it easier for new contributors to get involved and stick +around, we moved to where most open source contributors are spending their +time: the source is now maintained on [Github](https://github.com/irssi/). + +### Contribution Model + +The repositories that are currently available at +[svn.irssi.org](http://svn.irssi.org/) will, over a period of the next month, +be migrated to our newly created [Github +organization](https://github.com/irssi). This means that no new commits will be +made to our Subversion repositories and the Git repositories available on +Github are from today the official way of getting the source code of Irssi. The +primary Irssi client repository has already been migrated to Github and is +available at [github.com/irssi/irssi](https://github.com/irssi/irssi). + +We will, starting today, expect contributors to fork the official Irssi +repositories on Github, do their changes on a feature branch, and submit Github +pull requests to us. The team will then review your changes and hopefully, +together, we will be able to get your code into the official Irssi repository. +This will make getting your contributions reviewed and merged smoother and it +has the added benefit that your patches appears to be coming from you which in +turn is helping to make the gap between being a core developer and a +contributor close to non-existing. + +### Issue Tracking + +This is one of the more controversial changes. Over time, you guys have +submitted tons of bugs to our bug tracker at +[bugs.irssi.org](http://bugs.irssi.org/) only to see them rot. + +We will, starting today, stop using [bugs.irssi.org](http://bugs.irssi.org/) +and use Github's issue tracker instead. + +We have decided ***not*** to do any automated migration of the +[bugs.irssi.org](http://bugs.irssi.org/) database. We realize that if we +migrate everything over to Github, 1:1, it will only end up rotting in two bug +trackers rather than in just one. + +We hope to see interested contributors help us checking which bugs that are +still affecting Irssi and resubmit them to our Github issue tracker. + +We will manually go over opened bugs that contains patches to ensure that no +code is left behind in the old tracker. + +The bug tracker will remain online as a reference, but we will redirect to +Github for people interested in reporting bugs. + +### Scripts + +Submitting scripts is historically something you guys have been good at. + +The way submitting scripts is currently done is that you write an email to +scripts@irssi.org and someone from our team will manually add the script to the +website. We're well aware that we've lagged behind requests to add new scripts +and update existing ones so we're hoping to improve that too. + +From now on, new scripts ***must*** be submitted, in a pull request, to the +[irssi/scripts repository](https://github.com/irssi/scripts). The repository +contains a description on how to contribute. + +This will make it much easier for our contributors to both add and maintain +their scripts in the repository. It will also make it a lot easier for us to +review and get code into the repository. + +#### Scriptassist Users + +For users using `scriptassist.pl`, you can start using the new repository right +away using: + + /set scriptassist_script_sources http://ghscripts.irssi.org/scripts.dmp + +Otherwise, you can wait a month and the website will be migrated and everything +should be working as usual, without you having to touch anything. + +### Official IRC Channels + +We are moving the official development and user support channel to `#irssi` on +freenode. Historically, we have had our official development channel on IRCnet, +a social channel on EFnet and a user support channel on freenode, but we +realize it makes more sense to keep everything together at freenode. + +### Closing Words + +The changes to our contribution model will also affect people who are pulling +from Subversion or [scripts.irssi.org](http://scripts.irssi.org/) +automatically. + +***Access to our Subversion repositories will be revoked and the move of +[scripts.irssi.org](http://scripts.irssi.org/) to the new Github site will +happen on July 31st, 2014.*** Until then, neither of the two systems will be +maintained and no new content will be published there. + +Until the migration to Github is completed, you can find our official script +repository at [ghscripts.irssi.org](http://ghscripts.irssi.org/). tomaw will +continue being in charge of scripts and will happily review your pull requests +on Github. + +Feel free to reach out to anyone within the development team for questions, +comments or ideas.
