Not much of a problem here, since git means each developer has a copy of the whole project. I know we had the same story with SourceForge ...
Well, of course source code is safe with the distributed SCM paradigm. And I agree that Github is the social network of developers (that is why I said that all projects should have an official github mirror). I am more worried about all the secondary services offered: wiki, bugtracker, binary packages hosting ...
For what it is worth, I would like to cite two personal examples. In our project, we tried to get out of Jira to move to Tuleap [1]. After several months trying to export/import the complete set of information we have in Jira, we abandonned the idea. Sure we can leave, be we will leave behind a great deal of valuable stuff there. More recently, we moved our binary packages hosting out of Sourceforge. But ... in fact you can not remove a project from Sourceforge [2], so we have to write a redirection message. We can simply not cut the link with it. I agree that these are minor issues that do not impact the project itself, but somewhere on the road, we lost a bit of freedom.
Thanks to all of you for your comments, Regards, Julien [1] https://www.tuleap.org/ [2] http://sourceforge.net/p/easyhtml5/tracinst/Removing%20a%20project/ -- Julien MICHEL CNES - DCT/SI/AP _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
