Hi Jan,

thanks for your feedback on this whole discussion.

>From my experience on github, here are the positive aspects:
- users can file issues in a convenient and nice UI: most devs often have a
github account and enjoy contributing to other projects (social network
coding)
- repositories are provided with stats (on commits, traffic and views,
contributors, ...)
- users can fork the code and see how there code evolves compared to the
actual master (nice to have derivated policies and let them evolve on a
side track)
- forks can also be identified easily and contributed to with a possible
merge in the upsteam repo (side track goes back to the main road)
- users can issue patch (pull requests) which are easy to diff (nice UI)
and integrate in the repo
- considerable communities of devs and lots of features to consolidate a
community (follow, repository starring, repo watch,...)
- and most important: all those aspects are all integrated into a single
interface (single account).

Beside all this, I fairly understand that such a move should not be decided
in a snap :)

Ronald
