        Diaspora is

        or
        Facebook, but gitorious is a good alternative. So even on a
        technical
        level, this choice reeks. Also because by working with e.g.
        the
        gitorious team, one could have also found more bugs / asked
        for some
        features which would then be fixed in an open-source product,
        benefiting
        the community at large. So there's an indirect contribution
        too to the
        well-being of everyone.


gitorious is not an good alternative.


It's slow, buggy, and does not support the common operations that
GitHub does. I can't view images from the gitorious viewer. I can't
view raw files.

I've never managed to get in contact with the gitorious team. As far
as I can tell, they've fallen off the face of the earth.


Ask Richard Hughsie why he moved colord from gitorious to GitHub.
There's good reasons we're trying to get away from it.

I know I am going slightly (but only slightly) off-topic, but would you
and Richard (whom I Cc'ed) care to give me a short list of items you
find annoying in gitorious?

I should have some free time starting November, and some good Rails
experience, so maybe I can submit some patches a few months from now. I
am involved in some other projects too, so I don't know about my
priorities, but I'll keep this under my radar.

Thanks,
