I’m very positive about github, even if it’s not free software, they support
very well lots of open source communities, and in the end it’s just git
with a nice web interface, and a nice API.

If something goes wrong git github is just a matter of pushing it somewhere
else and repointing our git origins...

We already depend on github for the online libraries, and we own a
kicad project for that (btw, I believe dick was set as administrator,  
but not sure if you’re not, let me know if that’s the case as I have
permissions).

But of course, it’s worth exploring other alternatives (specially if they
are free and open and we could eventually replicate them if something
goes wrong about github).

A plus of github is that it integrates very well with Jenkins to do  
Continuous Intregration, and checking pulls requests automatically.
