Re: [Pharo-dev] [Vm-dev] OT: Convince me github is a wise choice

Google has several projects that they put serious effort and resources, the rest is just either abandonware or with very low activity. Google code was on such example. Half baked, limited, ugly and unchanged for years. I never understood why anyone would choose to host his project on google code.

You can have your own Git infraestructure with something like GitLab Community Edition (Free) or Enterprise (Paid). The "good thing" about Github is that it gives visibility to what you do, which for Pharo/Squeak could be a big thing. If all the code in
