Re: Where to host former Kenai or java.net OSS projects?

It's BitBucket more than GitHub for me. With BitBucket you can choose
between Mercurial and Git. GitHub is only Git.  In my personal opinion
Mercurial is superior to Git (they are both very good DVCSs) and possibly
the popularity of Git comes much from GitHub rather than from the
comparative virtues of Git itself when compared with Mercurial.

If you are contributing to projects like NetBeans or the OpenJDK then
you'll have to learn Mercurial in any case.

BitBucket's commercial model makes it easier for me to work on both OSS and
closed-source projects, all hosted on BitBucket. With GitHub I would have
to pay a minimum $84 per year for hosting closed-source projects. With
BitBucket it is $0.

That being said both GitHub and BitBucket are excellent sites. I don't
think you'll regret either.

I tend to not be willing to contribute to SourceForge projects. I'm pretty
sure the are more like me out there.
