One sourcehost or two is hardly the most important factor in the project. Pragmatism beats purity in a lot of Python things. In this case, Pylons and several of its dependencies had moved to Bitbucket from various sources, and people like the fact that Mercurial is Python and its command set is based on Subversion, which most of us came from. The sourcehost was changed out from under us when Pyramid was put on Github. When I asked why they said, "Because of Github's social network." Whatever that means. And it did bring a significant number of developers to Pyramid. But I'm still a little bothered at having to switch VCS's in the middle of a project (Pylons 2 = Pyramid). OK, I'll put my stuff on Github eventually, but first I have to finish them. I don't want to postpone releases while I'm learning Git. (Jonathan Vanasco, thanks for your offer to help. I have a cough right now which is cutting into my development time, but when that goes away down I'll let you know.) All Pyramid packages maintained by Chris or Ben are on Github, and that *is* Pyramid. The website source is there too. My stuff is all add-on packages and supplemental docs. Chris has said it's possible to incorporate them into the docs even if they're on Bitbucket, I just need to make some changes to them to fit the Pyramid style. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
