Set-up mirrored repos for source? [Dis]
What does everything think about pushing the code from github out to sourceforge, gitorious or others. Just mirrors though we'd not use them for anything else other than to mirror code.
Mainly this is to help suck people looking for code deeper in. We took down the old code that didn't work, but we never replaced it with the new source. I think this could help grab a few more devs and players.
We already have accounts on gitorious and soruceforge. So we'd only need to set-up the push to remotes part.

+1 but I would also mirror to google code hosting and maybe codeplex

Let's start gathering a list to see if it gains some steam.
- gitorious.org
- sourceforge.net
- Google Code
- Codeplex

I say no, because:
* This will just add confusion about where the main development of the project happens. You don't want anybody to be looking at a mirror, because it will not show most of your activity (pull requests, bug reports, forks, etc.).
* Most of the mentioned services have their own issues, forks and pull request systems, and they can't always be turned off. Again, this will only add confusion especially when somebody will inevitably try to report a bug or fork on the "wrong" service.
There is no end to available hosting services, but I think you need to pick one and use it well. Mirroring your code everywhere will just give a bad impression and I really doubt it will have any positive effect on attracting new developers.

Agreed with Bjorn on this one. It's already kinda hard to figure out what's going on with the code unless you know where to look on the wiki. Teh googlez returns gitorious etc and there's no way to know which codebase is active, where to submit PR's, etc.
Spamming our code everywhere doesn't seem like a good way to attract new developers.. Just confuse them.
Also, don't we have enough crap to maintain already?
