Hosting Alien Swarm source code on github would allow modders to have a central place to fork from and share their creations with each other and collaborate on them. It would make it easier to discover new forks and merge features. Dozens of open source Alien Swarm mods which a scattered all over the internet could now have one place to live and evolve.

However there is one bug in
Alien Swarm\sdk_src\game\server\swarm_sdk_server.vcproj
Line 2232 contains erroneous symbols *'
$File*
RelativePath=".\logic_random_outputs.h'
$File"
Which need to be deleted in order to allow project files to be converted to more recent versions of Visual Studio.

The source code could be uploaded as it is now present in Alien Swarm/sdk_src folder. But I think it'd be better for directory structure to be similar to Source SDK 2013 directory structure, e.g:

game
  mod_swarm
(this folder contains a template of a mod, which can be created with Alien Swarm/bin/SDKLauncher.exe)
src
(this folder contains files from Alien Swarm/sdk_src)
