Hey guys, I'm strongly in favor of switching to github and using git. It will bring huge benefits to the project in terms of "eyeballs" looking at the source code, reporting bugs and getting involved in smaller tasks like testing & trying out new code etc. Here's a couple objective arguments that back these statements: - Comparison of trends for git vs mercurial: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=git%2C%20mercurial&cmpt=q&tz= - Comparison of github vs bitbucket trends: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=github%2C%20bitbucket&cmpt=q&tz= - lastly, it has been mentioned a couple times vim plugin community is already on github. The objective statement that proves this: github currently has 42,636 vim related repositories, bitbucket has only 1652 (this is based on a simple search for "vim" on both github and bitbucket). -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
