Interesting. I didn't know Django was on SVN until now. Why didn't they choose Bitbucket? I think it could have been as productive as Github.

- huxley 14y agoFrom following the discussion, the impression I got was that more core developers and contributors were using Github. Beyond the "key user" metric, the raw numbers also seem to lean in favour Github: there are 665 watchers on Github, 266 followers on Bitbucket; 56 forks on Github, 39 on Bitbucket.
- huxley 14y agoJust an addendum to the Github numbers, I hadn't realized Adrian Holovaty had renamed the previous Github repository to django-old, replacing it with the brand new repository (with the SVN history, etc). So if you look at django-old's numbers: https://github.com/django/django-old https://github.com/django/django-old Watchers: 4,030 Forks: 753 compared to Bitbucket's: Followers: 266 Forks: 39 So the raw numbers are dramatically in Github's favour.
