I'm used to send a first email to subscribe to some mailing list. I'm sorry for that.

I wanted to suggest you to have your main git repo in github.com, that is like a social network of opensource projects. It's also free, and it will give the project more exposition, that may mean more contributors.

Just a suggestion ;)

What's better github compared with repos.or.cz.

People just wanted to have it on some publicly accessible site. repo.or.cz should be just fine, I think.

Github projects come with a wiki, and you can watch the project for changes. If you are only concerned about having your source code publicly accessible, then repo.or.cz is perfectly fine.

Regardless of whether or not you migrate to github, I recommend that you setup mailing lists for announcements, users, and devs.

That cuts both ways. Most development around git happen on this list and taking a project's development discussion away from here will hide it from the mainstream development. People involved in TortoiseGit may decide that asking for some change in the core is a good idea on their own Wiki, and after spending significant amount of effort come back to this list with a request for change, which may turn out to be suboptimal (or worse, impossible) solution, and you can avoid such wasted effort by keeping the discussion on list here.

We ended up creating: http://groups.google.com/group/tortoisegit-users http://groups.google.com/group/tortoisegit-dev http://groups.google.com/group/tortoisegit-announce

Although I believe Frank wanted to keep discussion on here for now until our growth warrants a separate list.
