I disagree. The amazingly collaborative infrastructure that github provides is a compelling reason to use it. We recently launched a project on GitHub and got meaningful contributions almost immediately. Github's open source ecosystem and their mechanism of highly visible pull-requests with commentary both work extremely well. I know moving is a big deal and I'm on the fence about whether it should really be done or not, but collaboration is definitely a valid argument for doing it. > What advantages would that have? > Github's bug tracker has significantly less features than Trac.

(I'm not making an argument here, just questioning if we are conflating two ideas that can actually remain separate) -- Jeremy _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
