Fork relevant projects under the droidsec org account

For any Android-related tools that are on github, forking them into the organization account make finding them easier.

should we be forking it or adding them as subprojects / submodules that way upstream updates could also be tracked. and people get the software too.
but OTOH forking make sense if someone closes his project at any given point we do have a copy of it but then the ounce of keeping the fork uptodate is upto the fork maker.

Yeah, after I forked a few I realized how much of a maintenance nightmare this will become. Apparently Github used to have a "fast forward" thing in the interface, but I don't think they have that anymore :-/

I'm not sure using subprojects/submodules is a good idea since that would hide the projects inside another repo :-/ Maybe the best solution is just manually tracking them in the Wiki. Thoughts?

Best would be to manually track them but i think it is a good idea to have a copy available somewhere in case a DMCA stick its head high or the author decides to just shutdown the project and remove repository.

maybe a repo manifest file that makes it easy to grab all of them?

A repo manifest sounds interesting too!
