It always seemed sensible to me to have a (public) development repository and then push stable releases upstream. From what Dmitry says, it doesn't sound like ELPA works as an easily findable and forkable development repository. > On 09.03.2013 12:19, Eli Zaretskii wrote: > > Why do we need Github? I've used it as such a development repository (to mirror my private development) Also, I suppose there should be some kind of project homepage.

Actually, I'd like to leave this to you, Dmitry. Since I'm not going to do much of the development work, I certainly don't want to dictate the process. I'll support whatever works best for you. kind regards, Nikolaj Schumacher
