[02:24] <ojwb> snail: though perhaps people commit more often with git
[02:24]  * ojwb seems to
[02:25] <ojwb> if you want to cherry pick, it's easier to combine small commits than have to split a big one
[02:26] <mwhudson> ajmitch: the second highest on codeplex is "xml schema", where do i sign up to get me some of that?
[02:27] <snail> ojwb: encouraging people to commit more often being a good thing, of course...
[02:27] <ojwb> sure (well up to a point)
[02:27] <ojwb> but that exaggerates the popularity of github
[02:28] <snail> mwhudson: i think what that means is SOAP or some other random XML based protocol
[02:28] <snail> ojwb: perhaps
[02:28] <ojwb> clearly it's very popular even taking that into accont
[02:28] <ojwb> account
[02:48] <chilts> you gotta also wonder if that takes into account the 25,000 package mirror of CPAN
[02:49] <chilts> and of course, lots of people cloning each others repos
[02:49] <chilts> it's kinda like LOCs
[02:49] <chilts> or 'number of tests passed'
[02:49] <chilts> or 'cups of tea drank today' as a sign of productivity
[02:49] <chilts> :)
[02:52] <ojwb> i get the impression that "forking and commiting a few changes" is github's answer to "starting a new project on sourceforge"
[02:52] <chilts> yeah, they always talk about the number of repos, which isn't the same as the number of projects
[03:15] <ajmitch> mwhudson: I don't think you want 'some of that'
[03:19] <mwhudson> ojwb: omg yes
[03:20]  * ojwb wonders whether the selection criteria for that study were "the sites we could think of" or if they attempted to determine sites which were of a comparable size
[03:20] <ojwb> launchpad isn't there, and seems reasonably popular
[03:21] <mwhudson> launchpad would be difficult because many of the branches there are imports
[03:23] <ojwb> there's a fair few mirrors on github
[03:23] <ojwb> xapian has one for example
[12:10] <Bacta> Hi all
