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.
