Hmm.. still no beans. If any members are willing here is my application: Edit: Thank you guys.. got an invite :)

I voted your application just incase this still hasn't been resolved.

Thank you

My github profile didn't seem to get me in. Anyone mind voting on my request? http://forrst.com/i/5c9

I had a similar thing - just seems to have not really done anything (and there wasn't really any messaging to say "no, that's not good enough" or the like). What is it looking at on Github. A lot of my work on there is either in private repos or as part of Github organisations (also largely private!)

Well, the application is http://forrst.com/i/5fk anyway if anyone wants to vote that in. Maybe it's the fact that I really need to point my site to my actual up to date blog...

I am happy my GitHub account was accepted, I am just curious what the selection criteria are. I have 4 coderwall badges ) http://coderwall.com/gourneau

I've had a GitHub account for about 2 months and have 3 public repos. Haven't done much on it and I got accepted.

Sorry about that. We had to request private access since we figured not everyone with an active account would necessarily have public repos. Going to change it to only look at public for now.

Why do you need the rights to update any of those?

Well, unfortunately, we don't. But GitHub's API is very terse. We can either read/write to private repos, or we can't access private repos at all.

We've updated the algorithms to not be as concerned to the number of private repos.
