We have tried GitHub (https://github.com/jarioksa/vegan) as an alternative development site for vegan for a couple of weeks. At the moment, R-Forge is still the official main development environment, but some of the work happens at GitHub first. The interface between GitHub and R-Forge is not completely painless and we are going to drop one of these platforms someday, but so far we try to keep R-Forge and GitHub in sync.

The major advantage of R-Forge is its excellent R support and good CRAN connectivity. The major advantage of GitHub is its better collaborative environment which allows easier contribution to vegan. The final choice between these two platforms will finally depend on the productivity: the developers and contributors will choose which one they prefer.
