Project direction and next steps - feedback requested
Hi, I am willing to help (unfortunately my C skills are at the "hello world" level, from university studies).
My votes:
* rename (or duplicate) `xymon-svn-mirror` to `xymon`
* link the Xymon website to the new repo, instead of SVN/SourceForge
* incorporate the pending patches and publish a 4.3.31 (or maybe 4.3.32, since there's already a branch for .31) version, so we can also measure the interest
* enable github actions if anyone has experience to publish releases when a new tag is submitted
* either backport the needful from 4.4alpha or start testing fixes in there

Hi all,
Quick follow-up.
So far, there seems to be agreement that:
- 4.3 is the current production version.
- 4.4 is unfinished and experimental.
- The main blocker is the lack of a shared Git workflow.
To move forward, feedback is needed, and input from everyone is welcome.
Feedback from long-time maintainers and contributors would be especially appreciated (JC Cleaver in particular; Henrik Storner is already involved).In short:
- Who is willing to help?
- Is https://github.com/xymon-monitoring/xymon-svn-mirror a good place to move forward?
- If not, is there a better proposal (for example under https://github.com/xymon-monitoring)?
- What should be the next concrete step?
Short replies are perfectly fine.
