I'm not very emotional here. Gitorious really looks a bit more free whereas at Github I always have the feeling they want to sell me something (ok... somehow the services needs to be paid). On the other hand the featureset around an project looks a bit better at github in my feeling. So. I don't care much and I do have an account on both :) Cheers, Frank -- http://frank.uvena.de/en/ pgpEbdqCyTj0Y.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel

The web pages have minor bugs like overflowing text in some cases which haven't been fixed for ages. The fact that GitHub has commercial part also guarantees they get some funds to maintain the pages, servers, etc. I don't know who's behind Gitorious but someone has to pay for the servers and if the funding is gone, Gitorious could end like BerliOS. For these reasons I'm more inclined towards GitHub. But with git it's never problem to change the hosting pages anyway.

For all these reasons I'd also suggest github, gitorious grew out of a one person project and still feels like it as Jiri said. We don't want to have to worry about the hosting service. Also gitorious is a good bit slower in this part of the world. Cheers Lex ___ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel
