We're moving our plugins, gems, and other open source projects to
[GitHub](https://github.com). I know, it's a shock. We're going to keep the SVN
versions of them going for a while, but the official repositories for each of
these is now what's hosted on GitHub.

We've got:

* [Jester](https://github.com/thoughtbot/jester/tree/master)
* [Shoulda](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda/tree/master) (and its
  [gem](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-gem/tree/master))
* [Paperclip](https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/tree/master)
* [Squirrel](https://github.com/thoughtbot/squirrel/tree/master)
* [Quiet Backtrace](https://github.com/thoughtbot/quietbacktrace/tree/master)
* [MileMarker](https://github.com/thoughtbot/mile_marker/tree/master)
* [When](https://github.com/thoughtbot/when/tree/master)
* [What](https://github.com/thoughtbot/what/tree/master)

By-and-large, we've resisted the move to Git, despite the _searing_ heat it's
been putting off in the Ruby community recently. We're still a centralized
development house, and so our internal development will still be SVN-based. It's
just how we roll. Though I imagine a few of the devs here will start picking up
git-svn.
