See https://sourceforge.net/p/freeimage/discussion/36111/thread/f2fae857/ for a discussion about GitHub. It would be nice to switch from CVS to a modern SCM system. It's possible to use Subversion, Git or Mercurial on Sourceforge. Btw, Sourceforge dropped CVS support for new projects. There is no active development on CVS and a lot of features are missing. From my point of view CVS is a real pain, because there is no working proxy support on Windows (I'm sitting behind a proxy). I don't care about the location of the source code (GitHub or Sourceforge) but please change to a modern system!

Edit: Git allowes other users to create pull requests with bug fixes. This could speed up the development of FreeImage, because there are patches and not only bug reports.

We recommend that projects upgrade to a more modern SCM, like Subversion, rather than using CVS. CVS has limitations which newer SCM solutions have been designed to overcome.
