By what measure are you talking about? Ah of course. The "It's shiny new so hot right now within my small circle of friends!" metric.

The vast majority of the traffic that hits Sourceforge is there to download software, not contribute to the projects. When we spoke to them a few years ago, they said their main competitor was Downloads.com not us (GitHub).

Don't get too caught up using graphs to assume relevancy, Myspace still gets a lot of traffic.

and traffic = mindshare = $$$

My point was that "Github has won against sf" is a rather naive comment.

And as you rightly point out, github and sourceforge aren't really in competing markets anyway - making the original comment even more nonsensical.

Also not sure what you mean. Traffic == relevancy. If something gets a lot of users, surely by the definition of the word, it's 'relevant'.

Sounds like crazy valley bubble talk to me.

Is "projects moving to github" good enough measure for you?

[axod]

Only if it's backed up by data, but traffic is increasing to sourceforge, not decreasing.
