== We're Using GitHub Under Protest ==

This project is currently hosted on GitHub. This is not ideal; GitHub is a proprietary, trade-secret system that is not Free and Open Souce Software (FOSS). We
|
||
|
|
are deeply concerned about using a proprietary system like GitHub to develop our FOSS project. We have an [open {bug ticket, mailing list thread, etc.} ](INSERT_LINK)
|
||
|
|
where the project contributors are actively discussing how we can move away from GitHub in the long term. We urge you to read about the [Give up GitHub](https://GiveUpGitHub.org) campaign from [the Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org) to understand some of the reasons why GitHub is not
|
||
|
|
a good place to host FOSS projects.

If you are a contributor who personally has already quit using GitHub, please [check this resource](INSERT_LINK) for how to send us contributions without using
|
||
|
|
GitHub directly.
