Re: [Hecl-devel] Infrastructure

I found this comparison of various code hosting facilities:

Oddly, google code isn't there yet, but a lot are.

I've looked at github now, and it is very cool.  I love the
"gist" feature - a collaborative versioned pastebin that you can then
easily turn into a project.

See also Google's comparison of git and mercurial (hg), and why they
added mercurial as the next option in google code:

FWIW, I think your github proposal is a fine option among many good
ones.
