Indeed it is. Plus I don't have to fight with other people if they don't like something about me or what I'm doing, I'm on my own, in my own little world.
I originally setup the CVSweb thing to let google crawl the pages, so instead of building a search service they would do it for me, which has worked surprisingly well. Although with all the other search engines around it does get a fair amount of traffic.
It strikes me as incredibly strange that we now have Linux and *BSD, this entire built up idea of taking power away from few hands like AT&T, or the various VAR's, moving away from Microsoft, and yet everyone is expected to throw everything they have into the hands of some other corporation to house their source code of all things... Having worked with http://www.oldlinux.org/ trying to hunt down 20 year old 'open source' projects which many have been lost, because of the same mistake of trusting 3rd parties who don't care, the amount of stuff that is going to be lost in the next 'I can't believe we are going to have another .com crash' is going to be incredible. And of course it'll seem like a trivial amount of space, just as something like 4.2BSD full source fits into 20MB, and yet could have easily been lost if it weren't for SIMH interest would have been completely lost.
I'm more impressed with sourceforge, as it's been around for quite some time, offers far more services than github, and survived their prior owners stupidity of trying to inject spyware into downloads.
Oh well, I guess that is my old man rant, don't rely on one thing, spread the software, don't let it sit on an apathetic 3rd party company who isn't even close to being able to operate without angel funding.
