Yeah… Just sayin’…
Do you know how can GitHub achieve that? It gives its services for free basically… Anyway, honestly I like and prefer GitHub. It had success for reasons. It’s more user-friendly, it does work, everyone know “how to use it”. There are really a lot of pros to it. I think it was a good move moving gnustep to GitHub. I do not know you really well, I could say I’m new here, but it seems you are “few”. Something like a little community. And maybe this can change, adopting more common software tools. Also, I would add that gnustep itself is quite “complicated to understand”… “how can I install gnustep” “what’s gnustep” “what can I do with it?” PS: I know it’s another proprietary service, but what about creating a Discord Server for it? > Il giorno 4 nov 2019, alle ore 11:46, Ivan Vučica <[email protected]> ha > scritto: > > I’ll answer as if you are asking the question and not asking rhetorically. > > Whoever hosts the project takes over the responsibility for: > > - storing user credentials > - abuse management > - security and service upgrades > - data migration when moving from service A to service B > - possibly even GDPR and other privacy requests (data portability, right to > be forgotten) > - backups AND restores > - service uptime and monitoring (remember, no SLO means 100% uptime which is > a terrible impossible-to-reach target) > - administrative overhead and user support > - complaints when things aren’t going right > - deciding who gets administrative credentials to execute all of the above > - deciding how to finance all this ($5 droplet on digital ocean or something > more?€ > - technical planning for all the above > > They take this on even if they are not aware of it. > > I’m hosting my own stuff.
