It mystifies me how people think Github is important to use for the community.
Github is a package registry for NPM, Docker, Ruby Gems, Maven, Gradle, and NuGet. Quite a lot of things would break if it disappeared.
- robertlagrant 3y agoWell, and rather more importantly it's a very popular Git repository. But I'm asking about the community aspects, not the technical delivery.
- melagonster 3y agoa lot of community has migrated to GitHub ... because it looks like more "modern" than mailing list. besides, GitHub is the only visible part of community in the perspective of new hands.
- eropple 3y agoNo, people don't use GitHub because it looks more modern than a mailing list. They do so because it more closely matches their expectations of how to use computers and software. Mailing-list likers have not come to grips with this in the last twenty years and I don't expect them to start now, but the dismissive attitude might be preventing you from learning something.

- melagonster 3y agowhy you directly think I dismiss something? I just want to indicate there some community only exist on github.
