Mercurial hosting - Bitbucket
For the few Mercurial users out there, check out Bitbucket. It’s a new hg host, similar to Github. I’ve moved most of my plugins over there :).
Also, I’ve added a new code hosting/repo page to the Textbook.

Looks cool. Out of interest why did you choose Mercurial over Git/other dvcs?

Re: Mercurial hosting - Bitbucket
I’ve never tried Git for more than a few test commits, so for me, it’s because I had more experience with Mercurial. I had worked with hg before switching to Bazaar (June/July=launchpad addiction). Unfortunately, I realized pushing with bzr was incredibly slow, so I converted my repos back (via Tailor). The redesigned launchpad, and its inability to accept underscores for project names also motivated me to switch back to hg.

I’ve not tried Mercurial yet. Recently switched from SVN to git myself and is working well – although I keep messing up when pushing my changes to GitHub. Other than that git is a pleasure to use and is very fast. I was put off Bazaar by the poor interface over at launchpad.

Yeah, the Launchpad redesign was an abysmal failure, but it’s still functional enough for xpat. I am trying out git on a tiny project though :).
