Why a fork? This is a bsp layer so it should be sufficiently generic to
work both with Poky and OE, it is really undesirable that there should
be more than one m-rpi layers in circulation.

Considering that John Willis's work is on github, where a number of
people follow it already, why move this somewhere else? This just makes
it harder for anyone interested in this work to track what is going on.

My suggestion is to set up a github project for this, move John's repo
under that as the master, and then any temporary tweaking for poky and
otherwise can be done branches rather than separate repositories.

I think mailing list is needed; please do not use a group for this, and
certainly not one that requires a google login. Perhaps Yocto could let
us have a meta-rpi list?
