953	VERY IMPORTANT: ROMS GitHub Transition	arango		"We completed the transition of **ROMS** to !GitHub. We have been working on this for the last couple of months.

The !GitHub **ROMS** repositories are at [https://github.com/myroms https://github.com/myroms]. For more information and instructions on **ROMS** framework source code, please visit [https://github.com/myroms/roms/wiki https://github.com/myroms/roms/wiki].

The !GitHub version becomes the official **git** repository for downloading, updating, improving, and correcting defects/bugs in the **ROMS** source code. Also, it is the version used in the **ROMS-JEDI** interface hosted at https://github.com/JCSDA-internal, which is currently private.

We will update the **git** and **svn** repositories hosted at [https://www.myroms.org https://www.myroms.org] for some time, but encourage the User to transition to !GitHub, which gives you access to the **feature** branches.

[[span(style=color: #0000FF, We still highly recommend users registering at [https://www.myroms.org https://www.myroms.org] and set up a **username** and **password** to access the [https://www.myroms.org/forum **ROMS forum**], email notifications for bugs/updates, technical support from the community, **trac** code maintenance history, tutorials, workshops, and publications. The User's **ROMS** forum has over 24,000 posts with helpful information. Technical support is limited to registered users.)]]

[[span(style=color: #FF0000, We do not provide user technical support, usage, or answers in !GitHub.)]]
