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

If you click through to register, the following are listed as features: * Notification of API changes * Early access eligibility on select features * Eligibility for development licenses for GitHub products * GitHub profile membership badge It sounds like it just puts your user into a special feature-flag bucket and gives you a badge, for now.

    * Eligibility for development licenses for GitHub products
Anyone have more details on this? The rest seem pretty clear.

Very cool! I'd pinged GitHub's bizdev team to ask about a developer program a few months back and was told that something was in the works. I'm impressed with what they have so up and running so far.

Question for anyone from GH who's reading this - will there be documentation released for how to integrate with GH Enterprise? I imagine there are some implementation details (e.g. OAuth access) that differ between regular GH and a GH enterprise install.

It's the rightmost item on the landing page - you can contact GitHub staff and receive access to develop against their enterprise/standalone product (presumably a license to install a local instance for testing, although I guess they could have a test instance set up for you).

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

Hopefully not! We're trying hard to focus on making the whole team improve and learn and apply best practices, and not on pointing fingers at the last one in the leaderboard.

You have a point, though. We'll try to prove you wrong ;)

I really don't understand this. I would like to subscribe, but I can't because only the organizations I'm part of but not admin of are paying...

Can you not be added to a team of the said organization ? Or is it that github is not allowing team members of organizations to participate ?

There are some minor differences for integrating with GitHub Enterprise, but just about all the documentation at http://developer.github.com/ applies to both products. While the GitHub.com API is accessed at api.github.com, the API for a GitHub Enterprise install is accessed at yourdomain.com/api/v3/. Definitely shoot us an email if you've got more questions or run into problems: support@github.com.

Licenses to develop for Github Enterprise Edition (also maybe Atom editor?)

Hate to be picky, but shouldn't it be "kudos are all yours"? I like to think I write decent copy, and am genuinely curious. I'm assuming whoever wrote that actually thought about it, and can probably tell me why I'm wrong

From oxforddictionaries.com[1]

Kudos comes from Greek and means ‘praise’. Despite appearances, it is not a plural form.

It looks that way, I'm on the owners team of a paid organisation and can't sign up.
