The phpBB team has transitioned from using SVN to Git for version control and is now hosting their repositories on GitHub, marking a significant shift in their development approach. This move is part of their broader embrace of Git and GitHub's functionalities, as evidenced by the vibrant activity on the network graph for phpbb3. This transition not only highlights phpBB's ongoing evolution but also reflects a broader trend of projects adopting GitHub for its collaborative and open-source benefits. Kyle Neath shares his personal connection to phpBB, recalling it as one of his initial experiences with online programming while setting up a forum for a drumming site.
