Thanks Matthew, we are already using GitLab and I have committed to setting up an ARDC public GitLab instance for the membership. It is on my TODO list…

That is why I suggested gitlab, which is open source as an alternative to github.

..Chris: Are there any blockers (eg. next ~7 days) to making the existing Gitlab instance and its existing hosted repos openly available?
Yes there are: The current GitLab repo is mostly used for ...
So to clarify, the Portal and other 44net *infrastructure* code is now mixed up in the same git tree/repo as stuff from the *grant-making* side of the business?
No, that’s not what I said: The GitLab repo we currently have is used mostly for grant applications. It also has other “internal” ARDC documents relating to the board, GAC and TAC, there is currently no “code” on it at all.
I am setting up a new, separate repo where members can deposit code snippets and other useful information. Watch this space, it won’t be long…
Okay.
Jeff Parrish and Pierre Martel both made a good points though, ... that the path of least resistance/effort would be to revert back, to using an already extant Github account:
https://github.com/amprnet and to restore the deleted AMPR projects there and actually *use* it.
Chris: Would have be a simpler solution?
Sorry if I did make myself clear before: That account was setup a while ago to redevelop the Portal code, the hope was that we would get a few people collaborating, but it never happened, I uploaded the initial commit with the outline of a Laravel framework but in spite of a few interested comments at the start, nothing happened. I eventually deleted it as it was serving no purpose. I have now removed the account as well to avoid any confusion.
The ARDC board prefers open source, self hosted solutions. So using GitHub, which is now owned by Microsoft, is not really an option.
