Re: Haskell Platform Proposal: add the 'text' library

I just created a haskell organization on github. Just email me with your github username and I'll add you to it. On Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 4:52 AM, Johan Tibell wrote:

I personally don't like sites such as github, gitorious, patch-tag, etc. for one overriding reason: projects are instantly oriented around the lead developer.

A counterexample: http://github.com/snapframework/snap-server

And as someone else pointed out, github has "organization" accounts now.

Here's another example. The Clojure programming language is hosted on GitHub as an organization.

http://github.com/clojure

I'd like to merge network-bytestring into network, but since network is hosted in darcs that would mean having to switch to darcs in development flow which I prefer not to.

I could just move network to GitHub, but I'd feel a bit bad about doing that since it's a community maintained library. If we had a Haskell organization on GitHub the package wouldn't have to be hosted under my name and other people could have commit access as well.

P.S. I saw that text recently (with the latest release) moved off code.haskell.org to GitHub/BitBucket.
