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 :) )

Issues? Interesting. Anything we need to worry about? ;)

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.
