[torqueusers] [torquedev] Proposed Migration to GitHub

[levin li]

David,

I support this idea, github makes developers easy to fork this project, 
to submit patches, and to submit issues, we have many opensource 
projects on github, it makes it easier for developers to join in the 
projects that hosted on github, and I think git is a more powerful tool 
than subversion, and it provides so many useful functions, I like the 
method that we submit patches to mail list using 'git send-email', which 
makes others more easier to review patches.

So, I think it's a great idea, if it was hosted on github, I would like 
it more to submit patches to make torque better.

Thanks,

Levin
