Hey I'm curious as why you chose nongnu to host your project instead of github/gitlab! I don't know much about it, hence my curiosity ;)


I don't like sites with heavy Javascript, especially if it's non-free. (Though recently I started using Github for a different project.)

Savannah is very basic, perhaps too much, but it's okay for my project.


I hosted the TXR git on nongnu first, starting at around late 2009 or early 2010 maybe?

I abandoned that when I discovered there's no control. I seem to recall having to wait like over a week for someone to enable non-fast-forward pushes. Overly strict and understaffed. I opted for self hosting.

I kept the project web page there, though.


Tbh, this is the first time I see nongnu.org used for something other than Emacs packages (I know that’s on me), so much so that I even thought this was a solution to substitute Emacs Lisp with Common Lisp. :O
