I recently place the public snapshot of Connotea onto GitHub. We continue to use darcs internally for managing the flow of code from dev to live machines, however as the codebase has become larger the speed of transfers across ssh has become a real pain under darcs. I had been playing around with making a snapshot of the public repo in Git and a request from some groups interested in the most recent version of the code prompted my to place the Git copy that I had been working on out into the open. You can now go over and have a look at the code at the connotea-public page on github.
Our old snapshots still live in sourceforge, however I’ve moved away from using sourceforge for a whole bunch of reasons.
At the same time that I started playing around with GitHub the main NPG codebase is moving over to mercurial, so a move to mercurial is not to be ruled out at some point in the future for Conntoea, but for the time being it’s going to remain with git. Thankfully there are lots of utilities that preserve change history and allow you to move from darcs to git and from git to mercurial so any such changes should be painless.
