I'm trying to understand the status of OpenStreetBugs and where development is happening.

I was trying to follow along at the EWG meeting yesterday. Parsing through the wiki [1] now I remain confused. Here are my questions:

- Why are there two sites: osmbugs.org and http://openstreetbugs.schokokeks.org/? The Wiki says there are but not why [1].
- What is the canonical repository right now? Or is the project essentially forked? I find three repositories [2, 3, 4].
- What issue tracker should I look like?
- What's the right site to link point people to? schokokes or osmbugs.org? The message on http://osmbugs.org/ is really confusing: "This page is no longer a redirect; the original OpenStreetBugs web page is still available [here](http://openstreetbugs.schokokeks.org/)."

I know TomH is working on updating the status on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Top_Ten_Tasks - apologies if I'm jumping the gun, I hope my questions are helpful to clarify the situation for anyone who wants to get involved in OSMBugs.
