fair question. partly due to personal comfort level with git/github, but also was hoping we'd get more involvement using github, since it's more popular.
Your choice, of course, and I understand about the personal preference part. I do wonder how much involvement you will get from people who would be put off getting involved by the fact that a project is on BitBucket (which fully supports Git as well as Mercurial). There's so little difference in functionality between the two sites that I can't see any barrier to a real contributor (real = someone willing to spend a reasonable amount of time on a project, larger than the time required to learn a new but similar site). I suppose time will tell :-)

Not that I won’t contribute to something on bitbucket, but it factors into my decision and I’m less likely to contribute to something on bitbucket, and even more less likely to contribute to something self hosted or on another host. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
