So employees *do* have access to projects--and the Engine Yard promise concerning security checks etc. presumably only apply to their employees, rather than GitHub employees (no offense intended, obviously :) ) > Both GitHub and Engine Yard are very serious about security.

Anything we need to worry about? ;) > I consider this one of the benefits of choosing GitHub over self > hosting - is security as high a priority on your internal network? Of course it is, which is why all our stuff is sealed inside a VPN. The only thing we'd consider opening it up for is the convenience and usability GitHub offers over basically every existing service. I love GitHub and use it for basically every single project I run for myself. Still not sure about the company stuff, though. As I said, when you're a tech start up your competitive advantage is the code and the idea (which can be gleaned from the code anyway). Just thinking out loud, really. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitHub" group.
