Hi *,

as promised a while ago, I finally switched the DokuWiki repository
from darcs to git.

As you can see, the repository is hosted at github which has a few
advantages over hosting it myself. The most important being that I can
give commit access to others without jumping through any
administrative hoops.
I'm curious if there has been thought towards a central git repository for plugins (maybe a subset of "blessed" plugins?). There are quite a few plugins out there, and it's very confusing to try to update a plugin based on the discussion on the wiki page, which usually is a mix of comments ("I made these changes to get this to work") and diff outputs. I've written several plugins, for example, but have not had time to update them in any useful way for a while now. If these were in a central repository, people could just make changes to the plugins and they could easily be pulled in, regardless of whether I have time to put towards the plugin or not.
Regardless, I'm glad to see this switch. This will make it more likely for me to contribute code if I have time or need. I don't even have darcs installed, much less know how to use it! 

Thanks,

Jason
