[GenABEL-dev] Proposal to move to Github

[Diego Fabregat]

I like the idea of moving to git. I have no experience with github, but 
I'm using git on an almost daily basis (we have our own git server in 
our group for code and papers). I would have no problem in uploading 
OmicABEL to a git repo.

Does dropping R-forge have a (bad) impact on the visibility of the 
project or on the user experience (e.g., installation of R packages)?
