Migrate project #75

First, I would like to thank you guys from almworks.com for such a great 
project, and for your excellent Javadoc documentation online! I have been 
maintaining the Cordova sqlite plugin project for the past few years and am 
planning to use your project due to its good design and excellent efficiency.

I suspect you have heard that Google has decided to end its project hosting. I 
hope you will continue to support the project somewhere else. Github is the 
most famous, but I decided to migrated an old project of mine to Sourceforge 
since it still supports svn.

I already made my own clone online but would like to an official version of the 
library source code properly supported somewhere.

This is really important due to some deficiencies and problems with the 
standard Android database classes. Some people have now reported locking and 
data loss problems with the sqlite plugin, caused by issues with the built-in 
database library in the latest Android versions, here: 
https://github.com/brodysoft/Cordova-SQLitePlugin/issues/193

I am also happy to take the support over if you do not plan to continue 
supporting this project.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your kind words! :)

Yes we're aware Google is shutting down Google Code, we intend to move the 
project in a few months. Haven't decided where to yet, but first choice would 
be BitBucket or Github. Is svn support really important to you?

We're still supporting the project, of course, and make improvements from time 
to time, but you're welcome to join in if you have ideas on improvements or 
capacity to make patches. We're using the library in our commercial software, 
but we're not doing much mobile or embedded development ourselves, so we find 
it challenging to properly build and test the library for all the different 
platforms we're asked about.

Kind regards,
Igor

Nope! I like Github best since it supports better interlinking and otherwise 
excellent cooperation between projects. Considering that even Microsoft and 
Google favor Github over their own solutions.

If I have a chance, I will also try to sqlite4java with the SQLCipher project 
and promote the integration.
