Whatever's easiest for all active and prospective developers.

To me: single source, least scattering makes most sense.

Re: GitHub, how highly does it score, on ease of use and features, for
**issue reporting and tracking**? I rarely reported/tracked in a
GitHub environment but I see an 'Issues' option at e.g.
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey

Re: scattering, my proposal to cease using this Google Group
http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse/browse_thread/thread/e277008ffd7c5e1a
-- to use an alternative such as Nabble --

All, consider the perspective of an end user who's new to MacFUSE:

* http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/downloads/list 2.0.3,2 without
system requirements (which was fine at the time, but can a newcomer
*guess* whether the version that automatically updates itself to is
compatible with Snow Leopard?)

* 2.1.5 (Beta) offered in the preference pane following installation

* discussion of 2.1.5 Beta began over eighteen months ago but e.g.
http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse/search?group=macfuse&q=2.1.5&qt_g=Search+this+group
fails to find the vast majority of posts. Bonkers.

Etc.. If someone can please remind me the system
requirements and limitations (e.g. 10.5.x, 10.6.x) for the current
_official release_ (what's the version number?) and for the
_official 2.1.5 Beta_ distributions of MacFUSE,
I'll add a note in the header of
http://macfuse.975588.n3.nabble.com/-f1893794.html

Another feature of Nabble: assignment of a topic to a user. In a
lightweight way, this can be used for issue ownership and tracking.
But a dedicated issue tracker would be preferable.
