Jones" Cc: Gabriel Scherer , Yotam Barnoy , Ocaml Mailing List Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Moving ocaml to github (as well) The reason why the "massive influx of developers" hasn't happened may be that making small contributions is perceived as more costly when the authoritative repository is not on Github. Most contributors only make small contributions. If you make large and/or frequent contributions, the cost may seem negligible as you adjust to the "indirect" workflow. At least what concerns me, I might have submitted a tiny patch here or there, but felt that the development model is not open enough for small or less important contributions so I didn't bother. That's why I'd also love to see the OCaml team go "distributed", preferably either Git (github) or Mercurial (Bitbucket). Regards, Markus On Sun, Dec 22, 2013 at 9:07 AM, Richard W.M.
