I think its hilarious that all the Gitlab development is occurring on Github.

We're pragmatic about the development of GitLab. A lot of people want public projects, it is the most popular request for GitLab http://gitlab.uservoice.com/forums/176466-general/suggestion...

I believe the developers chose to develop on GitHub so the project would get more exposure to the open source community. And because Gitlab.com is more oriented to private repository hosting. [1]

Gitlab development is on our own gitlab server. Github account is just a matter of wider audience exposure. Marin GitLab.com

You are right, the orientation towards on-premises installations is why we don't have public projects yet. But with GitLab Cloud the requests for public projects became louder.

From the front page of gitlab.org: "A fast, secure and stable solution based on Rails & Gitolite."

Gitolite is gone, long live gitolite?
