Ultimately, that's a chicken and egg problem. Moving to GitHub doesn't guarantee external contributions (there are aspects beyond using Git(Hub) to involve and retain outside contributors), but the current solution clearly prevents those. If crowd-sourcing is part of our strategy to get more tests, (and the testing meeting we had this week seems to imply it is), then moving to GitHub is a requirement. --tobie
