[Freemint-list] FreeMiNT for 21st century

[J. F. Lemaire]

This is slightly off topic, but what about GitLab? The Inkscape
project is also in the process of moving to git and there were a
recent discussion about the choice between GitHub and GitLab. The
consensus seemed to be that GitHub has more features but is less open.

Anyway, maybe freemint isn't taken on GitLab?

Oh, and I suppose case sensitivity is irrelevant for registering a new
project? I mean, FreeMiNT and freemint are considered the same?

Cheers,
JFL
