[ECOS] IV on VCS

[Sergei Gavrikov <sergei dot gavrikov at gmail dot com>]

Hello

I am afraid we are late with a choice.  I remember a discussion here on
VCS for eCos in Aug/Sep 2008. Thanks Øyvind Harboe who again "disturb"
community. Someone here said that Distributed VCS is tools of "21
century". I hope _all_ agree in this, we managed all Y2K issues :-) and
it seems it is a time to move in XXI century. 

First, I would suggest just to vote on VCS for eCos. If we start to
vote in the days during (1, 2 or 3 months), we will get the results
before 2010 and we would get modern VCS for eCos in 2010 (it looks
like 21 :-).

Folk, What's about Internet Voting (IV) on VCS for eCos?

We can use CIVS Internet Voting Service to begin the movement
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html

The CIVS is free, you can use the service or download and setup own
server. May be someone know the better alternatives. And, perhaps,
`sourceware.org' has the same Internet Voting Service for us?  Or to
setup the service.  Well, we would get even draft results in one month
to know what the community prefer today just be observing some bar
charts (I hope).  What do you think about?

I understand that any elections may fail. IMO, the most active eCos
developers in a past and nowadays developers and contributors then
will say the last words. I even do not exclude their right to set a
veto.

Thus I do not think that any choice from a triplet of modern DVCS
(Git, Mercurial, Bazaar) will be a penalty for the most power users,
and others will use any "frozen" stuffs (auto generated snapshots from
a web) in zipped, gzipped, etc. forms as they do it as well. In any
case eCos maintainers may say then, Hey, look on those charts, or Look
on that veto ;-)

Thanks,

Sergei
