  1. Concerns
  2. * what's the future of OpenTTD? (reiterate current goals in wiki)
  3. * infrastructure:
  4.     * we grew a lot of stuff (just OpenTTD, nvm coop stuff)
  5.     * who maintains it, what happens if things break?
  6.     * maintaining infra it's non-productive time for the actual game code
  7. * vcs:
  8.     * git won
  9.     * github means we're not maintaining infra
  10.     * github is something a lot of people are familiar with
  11.     * bonus: no need to maintain flyspray
  12. * renewed compile farm
  13. * getting patches reviewed is super painful
  14.     * github doesn't solve that it's a volunteer project
  15.     * github doesn't solve poor patch code quality, or features incompatible with goals
  16.     * but our toolchain will no longer be hostile

github solves a lot of the review process, as it is public and inline with the patch. Really helps to "just review a few lines" etc
