[NeXus-tech] transition to GIT for definitions and documentation

[freddie.akeroyd at stfc.ac.uk]

I'm happy for NeXus code+docs to move to git (and github) is there is a consensus of opinion - I'm relatively new to git myself at the moment, but it is something I need to learn anyway. Should we just have a  vote on nexus-tech ?  

Regards,

Freddie
