SourceForge is not about people (Score:1)

What you missed on GitHub is:
- You can watch repositories and follow people
- Every repository has a [Fork] button
- Creating a new repository has minimal cognitive load (3 text inputs and away you go) compared to SourceForge project creation; also, last I knew, SourceForge tried to encourage you to find and join a similar project instead of starting your own
GitHub is MySpace for Hackers [tomayko.com]. It’s about coders and the stuff they do, throw-away hacks and big projects alike, not about faceless projects run by bar

  There seems be a lot more to it than just the tools, I think you're saying. This is really useful stuff, thanks for taking the time to respond.
  You mention the SF mail list sucks - no argument there! - but all I want to do really is replace the CPAN Forum, which sucks even more than that!
