[zeromq-dev] 0MQ/3.0, 0MQ/4.0 and 0MQ process

[Amr Ali]

I'm with Pieter on this one. Martin, I understand where you are coming from,
because I think we both have similar backgrounds, although, it took one
persistent friend of mine to show me the other side of the coin.

GitHub is a huge community, in fact, it got so big that Linus Torvalds now has
an account there now and is working on a couple of personal repos.

GitHub's interface is very friendly that a newbie can easily learn it,
registering for an account is trivial to say the least.

Again, I completely understand and respect your background Martin, but things
like GitHub and others definitely makes life a lot easier. So don't look at it
from the perspective that this will break discipline or that it is a "lock-in"
but rather try to see the benefits and time-saved by having all the facilities
GitHub provides.

Just my $0.2
