Hi Jörg,

Actually there already is such a GitHub repository:
https://github.com/squeak-smalltalk/squeak-object-memory

It is quite new. I just stumbled over it myself.

I agree that using the GitHub issue tracker will be an improvement over Mantis.

Cheers,
Bernhard

I got now the hint the opensmalltalk-vm has a GitHub repository with an issue tracker. I think the Core Squeak developers could simply create a giithub account and the issue tracker is for free. It is a better communicating and the free workers can look from time to time into this issue tracker when they have time and lust to do it. This is better than posting everything through email, because then everybody need to read all the stuff from other cases. Of course somebody can see an email faster, but the things are better documented in an issue tracker. And maybe the issue tracker has an option to inform people through email when they really want it. But I do not know GitHub in detail, maybe there is one who has more experience and knows how to setup such a GitHub for public use with multiple members. Is there some core developer, that knows more about Squeak like me and which has more a position like an admin, he can do that possibly.

I think I am not the right person to create a Github account for the whole Squeak community and control all the member profiles. Maybe there is a core developer, that can make this decision better than me. And maybe we can create a Github account with more admin accounts, so that it is really a community Github account and not a one-private-person-account.

Everything done here is done by volunteers providing their time. That means anything that is onerous tends to not get done unless somebody develops a bad case of noblesse oblige.
