Okay, we're getting somewhere here.

I've been conferring with Georg on when we can do the conversion. He's done some testing with the buildbot setup, which seems to be mostly done. He also completed preliminary ports of the hooks used in the SVN repository. He managed to convince me that we're at a point where it would be good to post some kind of schedule, so here we go. 2010-11-13: availability of a test repo I'm working towards finally having a test repository that's close to what we'll have for the final repository. I hope to have it done sooner than by Nov 13, so it seems like a fairly realistic date. I'm not promising we'll also have docs done by then, but good documentation will be my focus as soon as I'm done with the test repository. I should also mention that I'll be visiting the US east cost (Boston and NYC) from Nov 13 to Nov 21, so I probably won't be spending much time on this that week.

I am currently slated to start my PSF grant in January when I will rewrite the dev docs, so I can help with the workflow documentation starting then.

2010-12-12: final conversion (tentative) Georg would really like the conversion to be done by the end of the year, and it seems that this is within reach. The aim here is not to disturb the 3.2 release process too much, of course, while still giving Georg more powerful tools to manage what's left of the release process. We're currently tracking progress in a todo.txt file in the pymigr repo [1] (and in the #python-dev IRC channel), so if you want to help out, you're more than welcome! We're also going to need at least one more big fight about workflow/organizational issues, but I'd like to hold off on that until after we have a test repo that can actually demonstrate the issues that are relevant to that discussion. Cheers, Dirkjan [1] http://hg.python.org/pymigr/file/tip/todo.txt
