Hi,

First, as you probably noticed, this list is pretty calm.  There used to
be a developer mailing list but because they both weren't used very
much, I decided to only use the support mailing list.

I think there were two reasons why I started using github for keeping
the code.  It has a very easy way to create pull requests and I
discovered a few repositories out there which were based on ddclient but
were different imports.

I've been thinking of moving completely to github because sf.net
announced the ending of the trac environment.  Fortunately they didn't
closed the service that fast.  Sf created a way to move to their allura
environment which kept the history still accessible.  That must have
been the moment I decided to stay on sf.net.

Some people just doesn't like the fact they have to register on sf.net
to use it and ratter create pull requests on github.  Although maybe I
could better switch to git on sf.net, I currently don't have any
problems with maintaining them both.

Kind regards,

wimpunk.
