Hi Brian,
Thank you for your input on my question. I appreciate the effort you put
into researching this issue.
I really like the gogs website for osgeo. It's a nice simple interface and
allows for quick setup (using current user names and all).
I apologize if I struck any nerve about the political ramifications of
github vs gogs. I am looking for guidance and will take your prospective
into consideration. It's really great for me to have so many passionate
resources on getting things done.
Best Regards,
Guido
