This particular basement seems to have been visited at least 400 times 
without us doing something about it, so I think lack of interest is the 
least of our problems ;)

I fully agree that GitHub is popular, but it is a pet peeve of mine to 
point out that alternatives exist, just like other people will complain 
if an Open Source project runs its mailing list on Google or so. With 
GitHub in the hands of a commercial company I fear that before too long 
they'll do something stupid to monetize the user base; this has happened 
countless times before. As the old adage goes, "if you're not paying for 
the product then you are the product".

Bye
Frederik
