Well we are not stuck as per my post.  It is easy to move.  I more
concerned with having Robot101 spending his time as an admin.  Where
possible steal resources from other projects :-)

I just think the cairo community went through this painful process
already and it really doesn't need to be repeated for every project.  In
any case if this is what you guys want to do then lets do it sooner than
later.  I already have a split tree (since Friday).  I'll ask Robot101
to create the directories on fd.o so we can have at.

I'm just frustrated with the slow pace of getting to 1.0.  The problem
is not that there is this huge amount of development that is holding us
back but rather that the last few things that need to be done are just
not getting done.

BTW. gitk is worth its weight in gold.
