[MEI-L] Rename the MEI master-branch

[Andrew Hankinson]

Hello everyone,

To follow up on this discussion, the community has decided on 'stable' as the appropriate replacement. This is just a 'heads-up' that I will be making the change today, so please update any of your tools, workflows, and other dependencies to reflect this change.

Cheers,

-Andrew

Also I’d like to share a guide created by several of my colleagues at the Association for Computers and the Humanities - https://ach.org/toward-anti-racist-technical-terminology/ - which addresses racist technical terminology. We also have an open bibliography on Zotero for Inclusive Technology -https://www.zotero.org/groups/2554430/ach_inclusive_technology.

>> Dear MEI Community,
>> 
>> following a suggestion by the Software Freedom Conservancy GitHub renamed their master-branch to main in order to avoid potentially offensive vocabulary or allusions to slavery.
>> 
>> MEI would like to follow this lead and rename the master-branch of https://github.com/music-encoding/music-encoding and other repositories where applicable. Following the discussion on GitHub (https://github.com/music-encoding/music-encoding/issues/776) the Technical Team set up this poll to take in the community's votes on a closed list of potential new names for our current master-branch, used to disseminate tagged versions (e.g. MEI 3.0.0, MEI 4.0.0 MEI 4.0.1).
