== Projects restructuring ==
== Project changes ==
Due to two recent developments, large parts of the FlightGear project are going to be moving.  The first is that Gitorious.org will shut in May ([https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitorious/ read more]) and the Google Code shutdown ([http://google-opensource.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/farewell-to-google-code.html read more]).  This means that all the source code (SimGear and FlightGear), the bug tracker, and [[TerraSync]]{{clarify}} are moving.  In addition, just previous to these developments, [[fgdata]] was split, see [[#fgdata split|below]] for details.

Due to two recent developments, large parts of the FlightGear project are going to be moving.  The first is the announcement that Gitorious.org will shut down in May 2015 ([https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitorious/ read more]) and that Google Code will shut down ([http://google-opensource.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/farewell-to-google-code.html read more]).  This means that all the source code (SimGear and FlightGear), the bug tracker, and [[TerraSync]]{{clarify}} are moving.  In addition, just previous to these developments, [[fgdata]] was split, see [[#fgdata split|below]] for details.


It has been decided that the source code and bug tracker will be moved to SourceForge.net.  SourceForge was chosen because it makes sense to have as much of the project in the same place, and because it has good maintenance tools.
SimGear and the FlightGear source have moved to [http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/_list/git SourceForge.net]. '''No more work should be pushed to the Gitorious repositories any more.<ref>{{cite web

TerraSync still needs moving, a task which will be worked on soon.
