Hi,

Isn't this also a good time to create a quantlib organisation account on github and move the official repository to e.g. http://github.com/quantlib/quantlib ? Just a suggestion. I definitely don't want to detract from all the effort that Luigi has put in. It just seems the norm for projects to have their own organisation account on github these days.

regards

Hi all,

    I'm currently 3 or 4 issues away from setting up the 1.7 release.

Shortly after doing that, and in concert with the other maintainers, I'll reorganize the Git repository so that the current, monolithic one containing all the modules will be split into smaller ones, with one module per current directory; thus, there will be a repository for the core C++ library, one for the Excel addin and so on.

This will make it more convenient for the maintainers to manage the modules for which they have responsibility, and will also make it a lot easier to add new modules.  We had considered doing this when we migrated from subversion to git, and in hindsight we should have gone ahead at that time.

I'm aware this will cause inconveniences to the 500+ people that forked the repository on GitHub.  I am sorry for this, and I will try to minimize the pain: I'll migrate the open pull requests to the new repository, and I'll try to make some kind of guide to help those of you with local changes to move them to the new fork. In the meantime, your current forks are not going away.

Thanks for the understanding. I'll post a timeline as soon as I have one.

Luigi
