I closed my account there a while ago due to personal issues with their behavior and terms. I also found that despite having access to Gentoo repositories, policies regarding the treatment of the repos (at the time) wasn't clear, so I never did anything in Gentoo space on GitHub to begin with for fear of breaking something or pissing someone off.
I'm not sure if I'm alone on that, but yeah; without any context the quote could be interpreted as a jab at people who don't use GitHub. *shrug* Rather than guess about it why not ask Michał what he meant by it? <rant> A funny deficiency of GitHub is it doesn't allow for open conversations. You're always forced to talk about something directly related to the code, like an Issue or a Commit. Gists can be somewhat analogous to an open discussion, but that strikes me as abuse of the medium. Additionally, it's not a threaded format so it's hard to guess which branch of conversation you're on. Of course sometimes you *want* to focus strictly on the code, but that's not how real-world organizations work. They're made of people, and most people end up talking about things *around* the code that are still important, like the various RFCs that we post here on the ML. None of what GitHub offers is suitable for that imo. </rant> -- Daniel Campbell - Gentoo Developer OpenPGP Key: 0x1EA055D6 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net fpr: AE03 9064 AE00 053C 270C 1DE4 6F7A 9091 1EA0 55D6
