Source Code Repository Moved to Github.com

All,

The Multiverse Platform source code is now available on GitHub.com. We are moving to GitHub to make source code contributions a lot easier from the community. With GitHub you can easily "fork" the project into your own repository, make code changes, and request that they be committed back to the Master branch. The core team will review your requested changes and determine if they should be integrated.

We're quite excited as we believe this will open the doors for greater community involvement. Our original source code repository, Sourceforge.net, made it quite difficult for people to contribute changes. We will soon phase out Sourceforge. We may still host some binaries on Sourceforge, but not the source code.

The media library is not included in the GitHub repository. GitHub will focus on source code alone. We will be setting up another method to deliver any open source media files such as 3d models or images.

Great move to Github Shane. I just remembered this and maybe CodePlex is better as they have an ad revenue program to somehow help the project and its owners. They have Git as well.

Here's a quote from their documentation

http://codeplex.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Start%20a%20Project#Ads

Quote :

Configuring Advertisements

CodePlex provides project owners with the option to host sponsored ads from Developer Media on their project pages. All advertising revenues from Developer Media go entirely to the project owner.

I know this is a late suggestion, but something to consider..

Just a thought.

All,

Previously I had setup system issue tracking at JavaForge. However, JavaForge is a bit more complex than our needs. So I've setup the issue tracking on GitHub. This gives the added benefit of being integrated with our source code updates. So issues can be tied to commits.

I will be transitioning the open issues from JavaForge to Github soon.

Anyone can submit an issue. However, any submitted issues will be reviewed and managed. In addition, because GitHub makes it easy to Fork and make changes, anyone can work on a bug in their own forked repository and submit the code fix. This is the whole intention of moving to GitHub. Make it easier for the community and any developer to contribute to the code base.

On another note, I have published the various demo world code, for both server and client, to GitHub as well. This includes; the Common assets and code, the Fantasy world, and the NYTS world files. The intention for this is to provide an easy way for people to contribute to these common worlds.

These community driven demo worlds would then be setup on the Foundation VPS for showcasing.

Let me know if you have any questions. While I can't necessarily teach you on how to use a source control system I can help out in some ways.

Thanks,
CobaltBlues

@CobaltBlues

the foundation VPS master and multiverse server should be working fine last time i got it running.

the only thing left to do is for you to change the host name so the master server can communicate correctly with MV server.
thing i could not do since i did not had access to VPS control panel.

hope this helps getting it fully working,
