Hi @JDziurlaj It's a good point. I guess at this stage, personally I find that:
But yes perhaps I should fork this project now and place under QCIF, as from a maintenance point of view, it makes more sense there.
I'll leave this open for a bit - there might be other opinions out there. If I keep it here I'll add in other members from QCIF or if I fork the repo, I'll ensure @Stephen-Gates is added back in, and any existing reps from our sponsors.
I have no problem with forking but a number of other sites point here so a note in the readme point ing to the new location would help.
Known sites linking here:
Frictionless DataTooling and approaches to data that are in varied stages of maturity.
Frictionless DataData Curator is a simple desktop editor to help describe, validate, and share usable open data.
A desktop CSV editor for data publishers
Thanks @Stephen-Gates Much appreciated. I've also added 2 other devs from QCIF as admins to this repo just as an extra layer of redundancy. Thanks @cofiem and @grahame
Started updating main page (see #1016) and README.md.
It is possible to move a repo without breaking links. If you transfer a repo rather than forking it, github will redirect traffic from the old URL so links won't break. Github will maintain the redirect indefinitely unless you create a new repo with the same name in the old user/org namespace.
There are various example of big projects which moved owner where this redirect still applies e.g:

Hi @chris48s Yep for sure. Sorry for confusion - I think I was considering a fork initially as a conservative way to get started (in case there was resistance to the idea) - I should have made this more clear as discussions with our sponsors have moved on from this. Our sponsors support us moving completely from ODIQueensland to QCIF, knowing that Github will allow the redirects from old site, and I haven't seen any feedback suggest why we shouldn't move. I've proposed that we do the move as part of our next Beta release, and have announced the move in our news. That way we have a bit of allocated time to fix up any redundant links/refs to ODIQueensland or to the old repo in our integration tests. So yes a move, not a fork, will be happening within the next couple of weeks - thanks for the pickup :)
I'll add this in to our current milestone.
If ODIQueensland is defunct, would be it advisable to move work off this account to somewhere else?
