Ownership

[jbmartin]

We might want to consider transfer of ownership from @johnmcdonnell to @NYUCCL. Currently Google searches point to @johnmcdonnell. Another issue is that the code in forked repos cannot be searched within Github.

I have already contacted Github about this and plan to do what they suggest.

[johnmcdonnell]

Hm so contrary to the advice Github gave me, it looks like transferring it without deleting the NYUCCL repo will be impossible. I've contacted them again and we'll see what they say.

[jbmartin]

can we rename the NYUCCL fork, transfer, and then merge?

No, that's what they suggested and it doesn't work.

[jbmartin]

can we fork the nyuccl to one of our personal accounts, transfer, and then merge back?

[johnmcdonnell]

I'm going to wait to hear back from them. Although their advice is obviously questionable so maybe we should just catch as catch can.

[gureckis]

could it be you have to wait a bit for things to update?

[johnmcdonnell]

No, the error message said "NYUCCL already has a repository in the johnmcdonnell/psiTurk network" which I think is unambiguously stating that the existence of the NYUCCL/psiTurk fork is a blocker.

Got in touch with someone at Github, they said they can change the root repo on their end so we're waiting on them.

[johnmcdonnell]

They finally changed it.
