But you misunderstand my suggestion for its use. I did not suggest GitHub be used for Chrip development, bug tracking, revision control, branching, merges, etc. I meant to use a section for github as a repository for user shared overlays.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">Chirp has an established templating and overlay system for band plans.<br class="">This is nearly the same as what's being discussed, except it doesn't<br class="">have a "transmit allowed" flag.
