No, Samuel, this comment trivializes what has been said regarding the benefits of a big network. The scale of it really matters. Not only are there network effects between open source projects. Because of its dominance, virtually every potential new developer is familiar and skilled with GitHub. Talk to any young people. They have been growing up with GitHub. Students use it for their homework projects, for their hobby projects, everything. Moving to GitHub completely eliminates the current friction with making a first contribution to Sage. Spot a typo, fix it? It's done in 30 seconds total. No reading of our developer's guide is needed, no navigating of an obscure system that looks & feels like something from their computing history class. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
