Out of curiosity (and sorry for off topic)... How is Github in China? I like that the experimental Discourse forum can be authenticated with Github. Would it make a difference for JuliaBox in China if it was authenticated with Github as an alternative?
Making Julia friendly for Asia seems to be a good path to massive adoption. Btw, any Julians here in Asia? I'm in HK.
