Free accounts for students?
kjell: I was considering working for the CSCI department at my school to update the cobwebbed CVS repository hosted in our lab that some teachers actually expected students to use to turn in code. Funding/grant hurdles and my graduation got in the way, but I was thinking what would be awesome is some kind of sub–github: maybe a walled–off version of the entire site restricted to students at a particular school and their professors and TAs. In whatever case, some kind of github.edu site, where CSCI departments sign up and encourage student use would be a lot cooler than just giving students free accounts.I paid for an account for about 7 or so months while I was a student, but after a few of my private collaborative projects slowed down or ended I was paying for nothing and have now cancelled.
