Dear all
I have no idea what is best. I just appreciate that there are people out there that does a good job so I can enjoy matlab-mode. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the vote options and I strongly prefer github!

What do other people think?

There are three options as far as I can see:

    1  leave things as they are

    2  stay in sourceforge but convert to git/HG

    3  move to a different server (bitbucket (HG)[1]) or githug (git).


So please hands up: 1 or 2 or 3?

I am not sure I understand: github and bitbucket offer the possibility
to download the package as a zip without using git or hg. Are you saying
that sourceforge does not offer that but requires a script which where
not provided by sourceforge? So in the case of a move that script I
think is provided by bitbucket or github.

BTW, I mentioned the possibility to generate a MELPA packet for matlab
(it cannot be ELPA because of copyright issues). This would simplify the
installation for the GNU emacs users, but leave xemacs out.[2] a MELPA
packet should dwell in github.

Footnotes:
[1]  bitbucket also supports git but I have the feeling that once the
     decision is for git, github seems the preferred choice.

[2]  xemacs pkg system is right now in zombie state, all new packages
     are in the pre-release state.
