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

Frank, same question - can you elaborate what makes the project(s) easy to
be manageable & have great interaction with contributors? (ideally via listing
the underlying features allowing this)

Thank you && Regards, Jan.
