In my opinion, for the “3 commits per year” it doesn't really matter which version control system is being used. No particular git feature is required for such a simple and low-traffic code base as the manual. For me it's more a choice of infrastructure. It is easier to collaborate on github. It's popular, people know how to use it and it doesn't require an invitation. Github's GUI is more friendly to beginners not familiar with revision control systems. The simpler it is to contribute the more likely it is for people to do so. But, I agree, there are valid reasons to stay with supelec, the main one being that it's already there. Still, I would support a change. More importantly I would like to see people actually contributing. Marco
