Probably some people don't want to publish their real name or e-mail address publicly.

IMO, we want git hosting on Wikimedia servers. With git, it's trivial to move the actual repository later, but it's not trivial to update all the links people have been using. I don't want a repeat of the situation with SourceForge, where we had people downloading ancient versions of MediaWiki for years because we couldn't point SourceForge to the new official site. That *is* a very real risk if we're using hosting we don't control. If people prefer working with github, of course, we could have the official(-er) one at git.wikimedia.org, and keep a copy at github that automatically pulls from the Wikimedia one. But I really don't think we want to point people to github.com URLs as the *primary* source to get MediaWiki via git, just as a secondary option. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
