I dont think we screwed up. Rules are written and repos look quite good. We 
dont need help, I just want to talk about those libraries which we write, 
need, maintain, and share.

Well, we went for a non-split repo with digikam et al and the answer from 
sysadmins was pretty clear (monolithic a no-go). I've seen different opinions 
on this list, but I can now, technically, only agree with the split-repo 
approach: Why should one who wants to code a patch for gwenview or libksane 
have to download okular's full history? Remember that git is a bit different 
to SVN in that respect.

Well, that's Aaron officially.
But I'd also like to have input from this list, I guess here are the people 
who oversee the migration process.
