The LLVM Project has not officially moved to GitHub yet and I would like to avoid fragmenting the project by having documentation in multiple places or done in different ways. There does need to be a discussion about what the best steps forward are in terms of documentation, bug tracker, etc. In regards to documentation, I have been looking for someone to help drive this topic as we need to do a cost/benefit tradeoff, explore some issues and determine what the best next steps are. If someone is interested in work on this, please let me know. I am happy to contribute information on what we do now and what is working and what is not.
