Apache Software Foundation joins GitHub open source community

This is simply not true. While I strongly agree that GitHub has the current "best" workflow, other styles do get the job done.

The Git project itself, the Cygwin project and Gawk project all use primarily mailing lists. Again while I prefer the GitHub system all 3 of these projects are responsive to emails and changes are made quickly.

What exactly is not true about my entirely personal statement? I simply find barrier to entry for non-GitHub projects to be too high for me to bother.

Great if you disagree and I'm sure there are some others, but I would be willing to be you're the minority.

So after how many minutes do you give up chasing a bug?

How big of a barrier is writing tests or documentation?

Or setting up the whole environment to actually build something pulled from Github?

You know that some Github projects have nasty things in them like Makefiles, and all that code and configuration requries tedious text editing.
