The source code of Devproof Portal is now available on Github. Some weeks ago I decided to move the source code to a distributed revision control system. There were to candidates: Git and Mercurial.  I decided in favour of Git, because I only know people who are using Git. It seems to be more popular than Mercurial (see Google Trends and compare Github with BitBucket). Furthermore Git is faster and more flexible.

Please visit Devproof on Github
