Github announcement discussion

• github covering all of our use cases? Maybe?  What about updating wiki pages, devops work tools, etc.
• This WG should wait until end of year and re-form then keeping an eye on GH until then?
• All in agreement that waiting for GH support best.
• Need to watch the scope of GH support and prepare tools/instructions for cases not covered - wiki pages, our docucumentation (like CONTRIBUTING.md)
• Why is waiting a good idea?
  • Reduced cognitive load
  • Less disruptive technically
  • GH is helping solve the problem and can help support if arise issues
  • Mindful of our resources
• Need to decide and writeup about how we're keeping a watch on things and how we're going to ramp back up
• Goal: pass off doc to CCMWG and let them implement it
• Action item: draft rampup doc including why we're pausing and how we're going to complete the work (Jeremy Friesen )
  • See Hiatus for Branch Renaming Working Group
• Action item: outline document for the CCMWG (Kate Lynch )
