I have followed VTK's migration to GitLab, and Kitware has done an excellent job with it. That said, I still think GitHub is the better choice for ITK. Also, the technical and social situation has changed in the time since VTK moved to GitLab.
I think the key factor is "community", and GitHub has the open source community. On Mon, Jul 31, 2017 at 6:42 PM, Bill Lorensen <bill.loren...@gmail.com> wrote: > Vtk moved to gitlab.
