To be a universal template for referencing the current open source infrastructure used by the FlightGear project. Should the project ever need to be moved again, this template will help isolate required changes. The creation of this template was motivated by the workload caused by the shutdown of gitorious (to become gitlab) and subsequent migration of all repositories to sourceforge<ref>http://wiki.flightgear.org/FlightGear_Newsletter_April_2015#FlightGear_now_lives_at_SourceForge</ref>.

In particular, the creation of the repo link (respectively git/svn link) templates (started by Red Leader and Johan G) will greatly help reduce the amount of work needed to maintain our wiki articles up to date. | In particular, the creation of the repo link (respectively git/svn link) templates (started by Red Leader and Johan G) will greatly help reduce the amount of work needed to maintain our wiki articles up to date. | ||
