I host all my modules on github.  It is a very supportive environment for spontaneous collaborative development.  c.h.o is a nice place, but lacks in maturity in comparison.  As long as there is a complete, free place like github around, why not use it?

1) Github uses git, not darcs.

Git is good enough for serious use.

As, I believe, is darcs.

2) I know who runs/controls c.h.o, but not github (so if something goes wrong...)

If something goes wrong, the maintainer of c.h.o can commiserate with you about it being down. I suspect he/she doesn't have a large team of dedicated sysadmins to put it right, or a set of redundant servers.

There's also the data ownership issue, in that I'm more likely to trust others in the Haskell community than I am from people that make money from the website I'm using.

3) Maturity? I can put darcs repos there, how mature does it need to be?

integrated pull requests, commenting systems, notifications of updates, issue trackers...

if you particularly want to use something else for each of these, that's fine, but it's nice to have a reasonable default.

*shrug* I don't see the advantage, but admittedly I don't have use for any of these. I more use c.h.o as a place to have a place to store the code for others to look at if they need so, and so I can work both at uni and at home on the same codebase. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
