I would also lean towards a Git/GitHub move.

We currently (as of yesterday) have a "concurrency" organisation[1] on
GitHub which we are currently using for the concurrency.cc website. We
could use this organisation to host the master repository, in which
case members of that organisation would probably own the repository.
Somebody would have to do the initial import, and if nobody else is
jumping up and down screaming "me, me, pick me" then I'm happy to do
it.

It would of course also be possible to start a different organisation
if that seems more appropriate.

Yes, those will have to be filtered out and kept elsewhere I guess,
unless somebody wants to fork out (excuse the pun) for a paid GitHub
account. Since those things are largely Kent specific it would seem
sensible to keep them on projects.cs.kent.ac.uk.

I propose that we move those things into the wiki/ticket system on
GitHub. I'm not sure if there are any migration tools, but we probably
have a small enough amount of content that it can be done by hand.

Cheers,
