Everyone added up to here. If you want, you can "publicize" your membership via the Github page (this basically means that you will be publicly shown as member) now.

If you have problems creating repositories, please post here (haven't tested it yet, but you should have the permissions to create repos).

I'll be staying on Github, because the projects I host there have metadata in there (Issues, etc..) that I'd like to keep. Also, I like the Github interface and features more than the Gitorious one, and in my experience, Github has been more reliable (more responsive and more uptime) than Gitorious, but that's just my personal opinion and experience.

There's gitorious.org/harmattan, but it's not very used. Feel free to push your repositories there if you are on Gitorious and want to avoid Github. Similarly for Mercurial users (Bitbucket?) and others.

If you want to keep it simple, or don't have a strong preference, please use the Github "harmattan" organization

I've used Github before Nokia Project Hosting was available. Also, FN Projects has been "hacked" two times last year, but hopefully this won't happen to them again..

Anyway, feel free to use whatever you like - if you don't have a strong reason to use one or the other, please use Github's "harmattan" organization, so we have a single place to keep the repositories. If you don't use Git, please organize something similar for the version control system of your choice This is about making things simpler and easier to find, not to decide the "one true hosting site".. (hint: having everything in a central place also makes it easier to mirror all these projects somewhere else via a script)
