--- Comment #3 from Damien Lespiau <[email protected]> 2011-06-04 08:26:10 UTC --- As a group of people developing media-explorer we decided to use github. While I was reticent at first, I have to admit that github is quite nice, offers useful features and seems to lower the barrier for contributors and advanced users (reporting issues, branching and asking for pulls, follow a project, project wiki (Vs the more general live.gnome.org), a way to have public static pages on http://media-explorer.github.com/ by pushing them into a git repo, ...) Don't get me wrong the GNOME infrastructure as an exceptional integration level when it comes to accounts, bugzilla, tarballs but the "project-centric" nature of github is quite appealing. You also have to add the fact that having it on github does not strongly link the project with GNOME (despite using *a lot* of the GNOME stack) which, depending on who you talk to is a good or a bad thing. Now, why ask for a @gnome.org ml? I got the feeling that the project needed one, say to be a better citizen, and we (through a small Friday afternoon vote :p) would rather use a @gnome.org one to start showing our links to the GNOME project (to be completely transparent, 1/3 of the people answered that they'd rather not have another potentially low-traffic mailing-list to watch and try to find something else). If you feel like hosting the source code on gnome.org should be part of the prerequisite to get a mailing list on gnome.org, that would be totally understandable (and needs to be mentioned on the wiki page :p) and FWIW, the backup plan is clutter-project.org or bite the bullet and administrate it myself. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the QA contact of the bug.
