This is on github. Does this mean that MS is abandoning CodePlex?

  From other articles[1] it looks that way. Really makes you think how big github has become. [1] http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/15/codeplex_repository_out_of_favour_as_microsoft_moves_major_projects_to_github/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/15/codeplex_repository_...

    To me Github has become a social networking website for developers (bear with me). As a social networking website its sort of half-way between Instagram (instead of sharing pictures you share code) and LinkedIn (It serves as a programmer's online profile ). As a social-networking website, the most important thing that defines it is the number of users. You could publish your code on Codeplex or Bitbucket, but you would be simply limiting your reach.

  Probably the same way Google is now shifting to https://github.com/google https://github.com/google instead of its own Google Code!
