[Insight-developers] github vs github

[Jim Miller]

Thanks Brad L.  I wasn't questioning the value of a github repository for ITK or for a personal repository on github.  My question was more about the roles of Kitware/ITK github repository vs the role of the repository at itk.org. 

Said another way, why not have the official ITK repository be on github? And if we did that, should it be the ISC/ITK github?
