Re: [4diac-dev] 回复: Foundation Code and Issue services reminder

Hello everyone,

Locating the source code on Github does not ensure more contributions. Same holds true for Sourceforge, which was THE BIG THING long before GitHub

I have a different project there, so I have some experience in that 😃

GitHub and GitLab offer a quite similar set of features, but using dedicated Eclipse infrastructure will most likely make the work of contributors and project lead easier, than also dealing with a third involved party (GitHub/Microsoft) in case of troubles.

I agree with this, I would prefer Gitlab as well. Working with multiple private instances of Gitlab, I don't see any omissions compared to Github feature-wise.

The one convenience feature missing would be easier forking, and automatic tracking of Github forks. I don't think that this is enough to justify introducing an additional dependency on an external party.
