[ros-users] Hydro Medusa Plan for code.ros.org

[Tully Foote]

We plan to keep maintaining kforge.ros.org going forward, we are not
actively migrating off of it. However we expect the number of active
projects to decrease over time as we and others follow our recommended
repository usage [1]


To Jack's question about links

Most automatic references should be fixed by updating references in
ros/rosdistro.  The only other place is any documentation on the wiki or in
the code.  One common place will be the link at the bottom of each page
pointing to the issues.
