All Gammu related Git repositories have been moved to Github. Also with this move all has been consolidated under single project. This move should allow easier contribution and possible hand over of development to new developers.

Together with this move, all previous Git repositories will not be updated making Github the only service where developers should look for Gammu source code.

We thank to previous providers for past services, though we feel that Github provides better service for our needs right now.
