Re: SourceForge nmap project analysis

[Max Schubert <maxs () webwizarddesign com>]

Fyodor,

Have you considered a move to Github? I moved away from Source Forge years
ago when they started doing all of this .. this may have been discussed
before, so my apologies if I missed the discussion.

Github is so much more accessible for developers and contributors and easy
to do releases from than Source Forge -  the issue tracking is straight
forward and captures lots of user context with comments and responses - and
the pull request process is awesome for swarm code reviews.

Are there philosophical reasons that cause you to want to keep nmap on
Source Forge?

- Max
