Great Julien, thank you!

You're welcome. Actually, in my humble opinion, JogAmp stuff should be in one place and JogAmp sub-projects should have similar policies on licensing, bug reporting, communication, ... It would be easier to explain for us, easier to understand for newcomers and easier to manage for us.

For example, if we systematically encourage our users to ask their questions preferably here, the people most able to answer (often the maintainers and the contributors) won't have to waste some time on social media and third party websites, they will be able to focus on their tasks and they will have a single place to control. Personally, I won't register everywhere on Internet to answer questions about JogAmp APIs and I'm probably not alone in this case. The situation is becoming problematic on Github because I seriously plan to leave it and it would be a more comfortable change for me if all maintainers refrained themselves from managing issues and pull requests on it because I often have to reply. Charity begins at home, I've repeated for years on StackOverflow that JOGL specific questions should be posted on our forum and I'll leave StackOverflow one day. Github should have been used only as a mirror from the very beginning and it's perfectly fine for me not to use it at all. I don't want to get much visibility at the price of giving much power to Microsoft.

It reminds me that some precious resources should be moved or at least copied into the wiki.
