Re: [xml-dev] [off topic] recommendation for open source project hosting

[Rick Jelliffe <rjelliffe@allette.com.au>]

OK, I am trying out BitBucket. I am a couple of suburbs away from Atlassian, so I suppose I should check out the local team...   But a corporate service still makes me nervous.

It has its own repository browser. Not so keen on it: I quite like TortoiseGit way of doing things from the File Explorer. Hmmm. I wonder if Bitbucket provides some free JIRA? 

Regards

We've been using github successfully at W3C for a while. We "clone" the
repositories automatically and back them up ourselves, however.

I don't think it's possible to guarantee long-term stability with this
"Web" thingy. Instead, it's better to have plans in place to mitigate
problems that might arise from instabilities.

An advantage of git over CVS, for example, in this regard, is that
anyone who checks out the repository ("clones", in git terminology) has
a full copy.
