But I know that the community is at github at the moment. Many examples exist. See the graph Tony posted. I experienced it myself as well. Or see the "Our choice of using GitHub" section on this blogpost of Microsoft http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2014/11/12/net-core-is-open-source.aspx I am sure the community will build around mintty, once people start to noticed the move. And for that ask Andy to put a link to the new repo on the Google Code page.
