Unless I'm mistaken, Github is a proprietary system, which means I'm<br>
unhappy about hosting our project there. At the minimum I'd want a very<br>
good story about how we can get all our data out if we need to. And even<br>
then I'd probably be against it. What's more, we can switch to<br>
git/bzr/hg without switching to a hosted system (e.g. trac with<br>
GitPlugin, and redmine has builtin integration for all of those.). Why<br>
does git imply github?<br>
<br>
In my opinion the biggest barrier to new developers is not whether we<br>
use git or subversion or what have you, but the high quality of code<br>
required (coding standard, tests, passing code review). A DVCS may well<br>
encourage more users, but I'm skeptical it will have a major impact.<br>
