Subtitle: A casual and long chat towards the question of github for Microsoft
Today my first comment was made on the Scott Hanselman blog. As you know Scott is a popular social and technical voice of Microsoft and technology life.
Scott is in the "Paul Westerberg" school of writing meaning he writes like he talks which was the advice from Paul to songwriters. This brings a very organic and realism to his posts.
The influencers are influenced by their downstream feedback which is part of the great cycle of feedback in the community. It certainly would be interesting to get Scott's take as he is aware of the artistic and community light that lives in technology.
So to comment it was best to create a gravatar account which unfortunately didn't have a facebook login however required a wordpress account. I didn't mind creating a new blog on wordpress since I have been curious as to how the feature set compared with blogger where my occasional blogs are.
Here is my comment today:
The soft skills side of this post - "up on github" brings up codeplex and its demise. Considering many aspects - will .net based projects become a department within github in the way it was with its own site or will all projects just be part of a big graph like stones on a great beach with attributes? The list of languages available on github is impressive.
Reviewing your post on Sept 10th 2009 when the codeplex foundation was created so much of an open source perspective has increasingly found resonance with Microsoft. However for whatever that means - how will advanced search in itself on github be able to bring out the sense of a community continuity - the creativity and synergy of an awareness of the Microsoft language category that you are suggesting in this post - other than by way of the threads you have realized over time.
