<div>Hi,</div>FYI, anyone who wishes to become a collaborator on the github project can e-Mail me their github user-id. I'll try and keep the github version up-to-date, but I'm afraid that that is something that I simply can't insure, so for now, it's more of a trial run. IMHO, a <i>proper</i> bug tracker <i>will</i> increase productivity and will let us deal with bug reports in a better way.<div>
<br></div><div>Another great feature that GitHub offers is a wiki, so it'd be great if someone could come forward and document the basic build-install procedure, and the instructions for the game, etc. (You need to be a collaborator for that.)<br>
<div><br><div>The website, on the other hand, does not need to change. We <i>could</i> change it and use GitHub Pages, though that only offers one significant advantage that I can think of - the site is directly displayed from a git repository.<br>

Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
Aviral is quite strongly convinced that github offers significant<br>
advantages over our current Alioth hosting, and has taken the<br>
initiative to set up a project there for tuxmath. He has opened a<br>
bug/issue tracker for us to try out:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/aviraldg/tuxmath/issues" target="_blank">https://github.com/aviraldg/tuxmath/issues</a><br>
<br>
I'm all for investigating various options, and github does seem to be<br>
quite nice. However, Alioth also has a bug tracker that we have<br>
simply never used, and SourceForge (where we still have a valid<br>
account) also offers quite comprehensive OSS hosting services. I'm<br>
not yet convinced that a "change of venue", so to speak, will in<br>
itself make a lasting difference in Tux4Kids' productivity.<br>
<br>
So, I would encourage everyone to check out github, but don't get the<br>
idea that there has been any decision to abandon Alioth.<br>
<br>
Keep in mind that it has taken ~2-3 years to get Google searches for<br>
tuxmath and tuxtype to reliably direct people to our current Alioth<br>
site. If we should decide to move, we can't exactly take<br>
"<a href="http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org" target="_blank">http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org</a>" with us, although I suspect we<br>
could simply forward it. For me to want to change our hosting, I'd<br>
need convincing evidence that it would offer substantial advantages<br>
beyond what we would gain by simply making full use of the resources<br>
at Alioth.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
David<br>
