After many months of planning, ejabberd and exmpp have been fully migrated to Git.

During the last 7 years, ejabberd source code was hosted at:

• CVS at Jabber.Ru
• CVS at JabberStudio.org
• SVN at ProcessOne
• Git preliminarly built with git-svn, at Github

Starting now, ejabberd source code is natively in Git, and hosted at:

• https://git.process-one.net/ejabberd
• http://github.com/processone/ejabberd

The minimal instructions to start using it are mentioned in:

Yes, ejabberd is already 7 years old.

Let's celebrate with a timeline of ejabberd, Erlang/OTP, XMPP/Jabber protocol, and Tkabber:

If you find any mistake, please comment. I built the graph using EasyTimeLine.pl, if you want the datafile, please comment.

To celebrate that ejabberd turns 6 years old, I've prepared a video that shows the history or ejabberd trunk SVN during those years: authors, acknowledgments, type of files, dates and releases. The video was built with code_swarm.
