It's particularly curious as Sourceforge and Google Code ostensibly have more to offer in terms of mailing lists, bug tracking, etc. Yet, GitHub clearly provides far superior hosting and source control tools and also lowers the bar to entry for participation, and I think this has made all the difference.
I also find it notable that GitHub's freemium model means they don't feel the need to bury their site with advertising (as is the case with Sourceforge) which makes it far more usable and also seems to convey a friendlier atmosphere.
- steveklabnik 17y agoGitHub does have Issues.
- pmjordan 17y agoI make no claims to the contrary. Nobody is perfect. What is the point you are trying to make, exactly?
- nixme 17y agoHe's talking about Issues[1], GitHub's issue tracker :) [1] http://github.com/blog/411-github-issue-tracker http://github.com/blog/411-github-issue-tracker
- pmjordan 17y agoAh. Thank you. That... was rather foolish of me.
- steveklabnik 17y agoNot really. I should have done more than capitalize the 'i.'
