GitHub can be used with both GIT and SVN so you don't have to choose. I've introduced a lot of people to SVN over the past decades. Be it programmers, sysadmins, artists, translators, it's fairly quick to learn. I couldn't begin to imagine introducing anybody to git. It's a horrible nightmare to use, even for developers, there is nothing that come close in how many times it screws up and you have to search for help on the internet.
