Richard: If you want people to host their free software at somewhere other than Github can you list a few options that have the same level of quality of service as Github? Savannah as of now cannot provide the required level of service - our Email requests of creating a few repositories are left in the cold for weeks. There is a package called GitBucket that packs (almost) all Github features and quality of service. It is free software, can be hosted standalone, and I don’t think Savannah team will have any problem maintaining an instance (which takes absolutely zero effort). > On Dec 13, 2015, at 14:51, Richard Stallman <r...@gnu.org> wrote: > > [[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]] > [[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]] > [[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]] > >> Well, I just created a repo there using a browser with JS disabled >> (firefox+noscript), >> using the web interface.
