in my experience (work-related and not), the amount of times Gitorious is down, or immeasurably slow, are more than the times it's actually serving Git repositories — so I wouldn't so readily position it as an "alternative", free or otherwise. also, if the goal here is to capture occasional contributors that already have a GitHub presence, then having a clone on any other service is pretty much pointless. ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi/ _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
