Robert has asked me to reply what I think about google code and github, since sympy has used google code since the beginning, e.g. last couple years, so I wrote this blog post about comparing Google Code and GitHub: http://ondrejcertik.blogspot.com/2010/11/google-code-vs-github-for-hosting.html Ondrej _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list Cython-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
