Re: [SVN-MIGRATION] Github or not?

I was curious how this experience may go down so I:

- Randomly chose an interesting looking project
- Forked it (one click on github)
- Checked out my fork
- Fixed a few typos in the README, and committed
- Made a pull request (one click on github)

And within hours it was merged into the official branch and during  
that time a maintainer and I dialogued a bit via github. No messing  
around with diff files or figuring out where to write about the  
changes but rather it was painless, simple and borderline fun.

So although I don't know if private messages will take over mailing  
lists, if pull requests are easily lost/forgotten, or who exactly can  
execute these pulls into the main branch...  overall this experience  
felt open and right.

Philip
