[Kde-scm-interest] Moving rekonq..

Given that you do your primary development work in git
already, personally I think it's on the whole a lot
cleaner to get your git repository set up properly as
a kde-developers project and give up on syncing the
SVN copy.

That means following these instructions with the help
of the sysadmin team:

http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Git/KdeOnGit#How_KDE_projects_on_Gitorious.org_are_set_up

And talking to KDE's i18n coordinator, Albert Astals
Cid, about setting up the translations bot, scripty,
to interact with the git repository.

However, we're dealing with a first here: Rekonq wants
to be reviewed for inclusion into Extragear. So far,
review has exclusively been done through kdereview in
SVN. When we move to git, we're going to have to morph
kdereview into a page on Techbase. We could either get
going on that now, or it could be done with a rekonq
folder in kdereview that has only a README file point-
ing to the Git repository for now.

One last thing you should be aware of: Since it's
currently not certain whether KDE will move to Gito-
rious.org or self-host its Git repositories, you have
to be willing to move from Gitorious.org to KDE's in-
frastructure if things turn out that way.
