Ask HN: How to get open source projects to move away from SourceForge?

3 points by pearjuice 13y ago

I (and probably many others) would really like to contribute to Notepad++ but because it is on SourceForge there is a much higher barrier to do so. How to convince them to move to github?

Contribute, become valuable to the project and then pitch your proposal. See how democracy works in action. Or fork to github and see what happens?

What is the barrier?

  Github: Click the "Fork" button, branch, modify, push and send pull request. SourceForge: ???

    Checkout from svn, modify, generate patch, and attach patch to sourceforge?
