We agreed, however, git repo on SourceSup has not been open to
public.

Frankly, I don't necessarily stick to SourceSup.

I see.  Once I suggested cooperation with NPO/NGO sector in addition
to academia (in private messages ...to David and others).  It looks
promising plan.

The matter looks simple: I can fork your (Strasbourg) repo and can
send pull requests.  I don't manage SourceSup project (and am not
allowed to do it: I'm not a colleague of RENATER).  I hardly can
maintain this project alone.

I'm planning to submit some bug fixes and minor refactoring (less
related to web UI) to SourcSup SVN in 2-3 months.  I would much
appreciate merging them to GitHub.

Afterwards, I'll consider of switching to GitHub.
