at least as a step inbetween

suppose you mean 'not' being.

being on github or being "not open" enough is an argument that i hear
often these days, but that doesn't make it true at all.

1. duplicity is open source and everybody can contribute or modify away.
even patches are accepted when posted on the list.

2. git is not the only versioning system and having alternates as long
as they are developed and maintained is a good thing.

3. github is not the only git rep provider. git is especially developed
to support working non centrally. so what we actually need, if we need
anything at all is a git repository, regardless who hosts it that is
recent revisionwise and up 24/7.

so if anybody wants to setup a git mirror (on github or wherever),
because it is felt to make contributiuons more easy.. go ahead :)
