    RC>    Any particular reason?   
      
   Once SourceForge started bundling malware with their binaries a couple of   
   years ago I felt it was Game Over for them.   
      
   GitHub feels well-run in comparison, and also well-funded. It's also a lot   
   simpler to use, once you get over the initial hump of switching from CVS or   
   Subversion to Git for version control.   
      
   I notice Apple, Microsoft and IBM are using it. That's a decent endorsement.   
      
   And while not an ideal outcome, Google shut down their Google Code service   
   because of how successful GitHub was.   
      
    ac>> From what I understand, binaries for GoldED+ could be made available   
    ac>> for download from a GitHub Pages site.   
      
    RC>    Yes, there are a number of ways one can do that.  (I have or am   
    RC> associated with a number of projects at GitHub...)  But they do not, to   
    RC> my knowledge, have a file mirroring network like Sourceforge does.   
      
   GitHub would use a content distribution network internally.   
      
   AFAIK SourceForge never had any mirrors in or near Australia so that point is   
   a bit academic from where I sit.
