Hi
We've decided to move Fabrik 3's source control repository to github.com. It can now be found at:
Please note this has changed - the master repository is not pollen8/fabrik any more but Fabrik/fabrik
https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik
There are several advantages to git over svn and github in particular provides a great way to manage open source projects.
This move mirrors changes in the Joomla project when the platform is already hosted on github and the CMS will be moving over to github as well. By aligning ourselves with the source control services that the Joomla project uses we are lowering the barriers to developer input into the Fabrik project.
Whilst there is a learning curve to using git (and both myself and Hugh are on that curve as well) our initial testing confirms that is makes it a lot easier for developers to fork the code, make their own changes and then request that those changes be incorporated into the branch. The social aspect of github also makes it easy to see who is working on what .
Github provides some great tutorials for getting started:
http://help.github.com/mac-set-up-git/
If all you want is a copy of the current code, this page provides a download option. However, we'd much prefer to see people creating forks and contributing back to the code base if at all possible.
The tutorial for how to set up a fork is here:
http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/
Fabrik 2's source control will remain at the unfuddle svn repository.
