What makes me want to see Git being used is that as of this moment, I can’t download an installer package for the latest version of Bazaar and I can’t get it to download all the dependencies needed to try compiling it via Macports.

Wondering how you got it installed for your machine Andy?

Hi,

As Dustin said, Lighthouse is free for OpenSource projects.

And yes, I would strongly recommend git, http://github.com/, and Lighthouse.

Github and Lighthouse integrate very nicely.

Best regards,

“This has left me” → “This has let me” in the paragraph about drivers.

I dunno, Lighthouse may be stylish, but I’m not really digging it as much as LaunchPad at the moment in terms of practicality.

Oh! Awesome!

Okay, then, what do you guys think about Lighthouse+Github vs. LaunchPad+Bazaar?

Seems like the former has a little more style maybe, but Git kind of confuses me. The latter has more features: “ask a question”, ideas, translations, etc. Thoughts? I should probably send a mailing list email about this.

Although they haven’t updated their home page in a while, Lighthouse is free for open source projects:
