On: An end to the loneliness of the open-source coder?

GitHub is closed in the sense that you can't access most of its source code but it's not really a problem since Git is decentralised. When you clone a repository from GitHub, you have everything you need to host that repository somewhere else. GitHub doesn't take any power away from the project - it only provides tools to easily manage your project.

I'm not sure that status of downloading a project's issues or wiki but I remember they were working on making them clonable.

I absolutely agree that it is not a problem.

Issues has a full api, as do most other parts for exporting/importing/manipulating data. I can't find the wiki api right offhand.

And yes, I'm ok with companies keeping some of the secrets of the sauce, as long as they're reasonable about the data, I put in, which they are.
