Hello VTK Examples users.

We are thinking of moving the repository from Bill’s github to another location as well as the website.  
Does anyone have inputs about this ?

There is three possibilities :

1. Move the repository and website to @amaclean github (see [here](https://github.com/ajpmaclean/VTKEx/) and [here](https://ajpmaclean.github.io/VTKEx/site/) for the work in progress)

2. Move the repository to [https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/VTKExamples](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/VTKExamples) and host the examples page on a kitware server

3. Move the repository to [https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/VTKExamples](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/VTKExamples) and keep a mirror on github to host the website there.

Please let us know what you think and vote below.

If you think it will be close you can start a [poll on discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-create-polls/77548), but to me number 3 is the right answer.

Good idea, I’ve added a poll.

Small thing, but to clarify my vote for number three is based on having the repository mirrored on github, since that will be more discoverable and familiar to some people. I’m not concerned about whether the site is hosted at github or kitware.

Ok, Solution 2 could also keep a mirrored github.
