As far as I am concerned, I don't see as a problem to use github for source code and distribute release through the forge. You can benefit from BTS/mailing list/aggregated news et al on the forge. I think release distribution, bug tracking and news is something that should be enough to "concentrate OCaml stuff in one place" and provide a good indexing of your project (not to say, that it will also cross-link your github project, thus enhance your PageRank). If you want to use github, just hide the "source" tab of the project and leave a note on the project webpage. Ideally, if someone has the time to code a "github" plugin for the forge, you can choose "github" as SCM and been redirected to the github project. Regards, Sylvain Le Gall
