[FX.php List] Where should the source of FX.php live?

[Leo R. Lundgren]

I am not involved in using FX.php currently, I've only used it way back. But I think one thing is preferrable when you are considering this; The ability for developers to use a DVCS. I don't know what SF provides on that part, but Github is indeed an obvious option.

If you like Git already, and others don't mind, why not go with that. I haven't used hg or bzr or their main social coding sites to have any relevant opinion about it.

I think Google Code has support for Git nowadays as well.

Now this is bad, and I need to address this problem, and stop being a lazy slob...  Also, I want FX.php to have more of the life of an open source project -- we've come a long ways since the number of PHP developers in the FileMaker community could be counted on one's fingers.  That said, before I do point to the right place, I was wondering if you folks have a preference:

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if both of those fellows have an account at the other option I'm considering...
