Since we did these opinion gathering several times now, I decided to 
start a wiki page where we could manage all this so it will be more 
visible than the mailing list.

Please add yourself to the first table. I hope it is not too messy. I 
did not figure out how to get lined between the cells otherwise.
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Games/MoveToGit

The second table should be started properly. I think there was a good 
one somewhere on techbase, but I do not remember where and do not have 
time to look for it now.

I hope this will make things more clear.
