[tdwg-tag] LSID Sourceforge URL & LSID Best Practices

Sat Aug 15 08:55:38 CEST 2009

The problem about google code is, that it is not really universally open.
For example, google code does not allow users from Iran to access it. It is
google, not the Iranian government, that imposes this restriction.

Couldn't we just move this code to Google Code?

If I recall, the problem is that the SourceForge site was set up as a  
Word Press blog (OMG), so when SourceForge changes their hosting  
things break.

We could probably get http://code.google.com/p/lsid/ (but whoever has  
the username and password for the original lsid SourceForge cite would  
need to set it up because Google won't create a project with the same  
name as one on SourceForge unless the SourceForge project owner agrees).

The other name would be /lsids, for which I assume someone in TDWG has  
the username/password combination?

I guess this also means moving the code from one Subversion repository  
to another one, but I guess that's straightforward.

Note that the code can still be accessed at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lsids/

Regards

Rod
