> I don't know if you can compare sourceforge with github because the former was also used by many to get ready-to-use binaries where github is more exclusive to developers and peers. Some projects use the gist page for their web page, and some use the release downloads as the download binary they link to. Sometimes, just as was often the case with sourceforge, the main project repo page was the main page for the project. If you think github is more exclusive to developers and peers, I think that's just your own bias in how you use it coming though, as many non-developer people I mention it to know what it is if it comes up in conversation. I see them as extremely similar, to the point that on the relevant point of how it's used by the public I'm having a hard time coming up with differences.
