I haven't hosted a project with sourceforge, but I use github for all of my projects that I put online and it works really well and I have been very happy with it. I don't know of anybody who prefers sourceforge over github, though I can see why a well established project wouldn't switch since there are a lot of other things beside the source migration that are probably less trivial (forum, mailing list, etc.). I'll spend a few minutes and see how difficult it would be to convert from svn-sourceforge to git-github and report back. Luke |
