Hi, Since everyone here knows that I have no ability to be nice, let me "git" to the point.
GitHub sucks! It sucks because it costs money. It sucks because it doesn't use gitweb. It sucks because of poor user/group management. It sucks because it really sucks...hard! It sucks because is uses a little too much javascript. It sucks because it fucks up search in general (see gitweb). Basically the interface isn't gitweb and is oriented towards making money. The alternative: sourceforge. I know that sourceforge sucks...if you can run your own server. The problem with that is how much do you trust me to keep my server up and running? I don't trust myself. Do you trust the money-grubbers at github? Basically they are Facebook for programmers: willing and primed to sell your IP out at every opportunity. An alternative? How about git on sourceforge? Unlike github sf costs nothing. Unlike github sf allows infinite subprojects which cost nothing. Unlike github sf allows infinite developers the ability to commit to any project. Most important: Unlike github sf doesn't require you to bend over at a certain angle and accept your fate. As a starting point consider the following repo: http://aolserver.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi In this repo we have all projects and every project has a complete commit history. How many projects: 64! I haven't looked into how much github would charge for 64 projects, but that is how many we have right now. Where are these projects on sourceforge? http://aolserver.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi Although I caution everyone that there is no community consensus on the use of this repository, please note that everyone who could commit to the sourceforge CVS repository can commit to this new GIT repository. I'll post relevant urls very soon. tom jackson -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[email protected]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
