Github has been a wonderful tool for *developers*, but for users of projects, I haven't seen the amount of sophistication and polish that sourceforge has. I am personally fine with continuing to use sourceforge for the tracker (I know I need to catch up on bugs there...). My main concern, though, is having two active issue trackers -- one on sourceforge and one on github. Ben Root
