[Rivet] HepForge migration... pause?

[Andy Buckley]

Hi all,

I think/hope you all got a message from Keith Ellis about next week's development work on HepForge to finally migrate it to the Phabricator platform (used & co-developed by Facebook... and I just discovered that the same description applies to our Mercurial version control).
Our plan was to move -- on precisely the same timescale -- to BitBucket, but from some reading it may be that Phabricator will work well for us: at least some older web pages raved about it as Facebook's secret weapon. It is certainly the path of least resistance in the short term: the only thing we would need to migrate is our wiki pages (and that as a matter of urgency, since I don't think we'll have access to them anymore). I would at least like to try out Phabricator's take on pull requests, to see if we can make them work as well or better than BitBucket's for reviewing and incorporating new contributed analyses.
Is everyone happy with this plan: pull the useful wiki pages off HepForge this week, and see how the new system looks... and still move hosting to BitBucket if it's not working?
