Yes that's why I didn't elaborate much. Whichever tool you pick, there will always be people unhappy about it. In the case of Github, reasons I've heard of are (not that I agree or disagree with anything here, that's not the point): - It's not open source - It's owned by Microsoft - It has contracts with the ICE in the USA (https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/01/ice-contract-github-sparks-developer-protests/604339/) - It's too big and making a large part of open source work centralized in one place (mainly from people who already suffered from problems with Sourceforge or Google Code Project Hosting in the past, I guess) -- Adrien / PulkoMandy _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
