-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello All,
I replied to this earlier, thought I had sent it too the list, but went back to Joe only. Link to Open Source Hosting facilities, comparing features, popularity and such: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source_software_hosting_facilities My recommendations would be, in order of preference: * Launchpad * Google Code * GNU Savannah * GitHub * Gitorious All of these are well supported, provide a range of free tools and should work well for WSJT projects. Personally, I like Launchpad for it's versatile work flows, tools integration (bugs, blueprints, Q&A, Translations, etc.) Google Code would be next with Savannah a very close second. Git is ok for really large projects which need or want true distributed work-flows. I think it's overkill for smaller projects. 73's Greg, KI7MT [email protected] On 2/17/2014 20:47, Charles Yahrling wrote: > Since I never heard of subversion until a few weeks a go I am the > least qualified to make any recommendation.
