Earlier quoted context omitted.

It looks like a good source of information for developers working on products built on top of GitHub's API. (Like Gitpoints, http://gitpoints.com , in my case.)

Gitpoints looks like fun! Beta request sent.

same!

I was able to sign up without a paid plan, but perhaps that's because I've got a student account (comes with free private repos).

That means you are on a paid plan, but have a discount applied (which happens to be the cost of the lowest plan).

It isn't clear to me what this is. Does anyone mind explaining?

Nice use of gamification and programming. It's a good combined niche! Well found!

I'd certainly be interested in knowing what the heck "select features" might be, and what exactly I can do with a development license for GH products... but it's really hard to see whats in it for me with such an uninformative marketing page.

I'm not yet making money off of my github integration, so I can't justify jumping to a paid plan just to see what this is all about...

This is great to hear. My product was designed to be a complementary asset for GitHub and I was wondering what would be the best way to get in contact. And low and behold, they have the "Take on the enterprise" link that lets you know how.

The real money has always been in enterprise and the fact that companies are still shelling out $3,000 for ClearCase licenses demonstrates this. Git is becoming more and more important in enterprise, so it's nice to see GitHub is really going after this market.

GitPoints sounds like it could potentially create even more stress at the workplace.

I wonder if they will bundle a license for the Atom editor along with the program.
