Chris,

Where _do_ I spend my cycles? (you may ask)

Working on opening up git/github to smalltalkers.

github has over 1,000,000 users and 100+ folks work at github maintaining and developing the site ... How many full-time developers are there for SqueakSource3 or SmalltalkHub?

Besides that, in my opinion, the combination of git/github is superior to anything we have. 

Finally, I believe that if and when the Smalltalk community adapts to git/github, Smalltalk as a development environment will become much more accessible to developers in general which can only be a good thing...

Dale

| Chris,
| 
| One other point that may not be clear ...
| 
| I am not the developer/maintainer of SqueakSource3 ... I administer
| the ss3 site.
| 
| I don't have the cycles to take on the ongoing development of
| SqueakSource3 and rely on other developers for that ...
| 
| So when I say that ss3 will be supported "forever" I am talking about
| keeping the site operational "forever", not about fixing bugs and
| adding new features to SqueakSource3 ... someone else has to take on
| that job ....

| | Dale, will SS3 still be supported even after SmalltalkHub comes
