Detectors in the Github areaDetector Project
--------------------------------------------

Beginning with release R2-0 (March 2014) the areaDetector module is in
the `areaDetector project on
Github <https://github.com/areaDetector>`__. This project is organized
as a `top level module <https://github.com/areaDetector/areaDetector>`__
and a set of submodules, e.g.
`ADCore <https://github.com/areaDetector/ADCore>`__,
`ADEiger <https://github.com/areaDetector/ADEiger>`__,
`ADGenICam <https://github.com/areaDetector/ADGenICam>`__, etc.

The following table provides links to the github repository, the
