Line 483:

I agree, and I think this is very important - most of the sites listed here deny services to developers who happen to live in one of the countries on the current "hate list" of the US government.

It's a major omission of the article which urgently needs to be fixed, ideally by the addition of an extra column to the "General Information" table. [[User:Longitude2|Longitude2]] ([[User talk:Longitude2|talk]]) 09:17, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

== What Determines Inclusion/Exclusion of Products? ==

New to Wikipedia here, what criteria do y'all use to decide whether or not to include a specific product? I'm surprised Perforce is not listed in this article. If that's intentional, why? <br>--[[User:MerlinRedbeard|MerlinRedbeard]] ([[User talk:MerlinRedbeard|talk]]) 17:52, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

:Entries here need to be notable and have their own article. See [[WP:NOTABILITY]]. [[User:Greenman|Greenman]] ([[User talk:Greenman|talk]]) 18:50, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

That is incorrect. Entries in this list do not need to have their own article. To quote from [[WP:NOTABILITY]]: "These guidelines only outline how suitable a topic is for its own article or list. They ''do not'' limit the ''content'' of an article or list" (Emphasis in original).

Notability can be used as a criterion for inclusion in some kinds of list, the example given being lists of a school's alumni, where obviously it is appropriate. [[User:Longitude2|Longitude2]] ([[User talk:Longitude2|talk]]) 11:29, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

== GitHub in Iran and Cuba ==

According to [https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-and-trade-controls this page],

''"GitHub Enterprise Server may not be sold to, exported, or re-exported to any country listed in Country Group E:1 in Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR or to the Crimea region of Ukraine. This list currently contains Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria, but is subject to change."''

However, the situation is different with Cloud services:

''"With respect to Iran, however, GitHub now has a license from the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to provide cloud services to developers located or otherwise resident in that country. GitHub cloud services, both free and paid, are also generally available to developers located in Cuba."''

Hence developers in Iran and Cuba can use GitHub cloud services.

== Is xmlbasedsrs a prominent project? ==

This project seems dead from the 2003. You can call it prominent?

The only traffic in its mailing list is spam: http://xmlbasedsrs.tigris.org/ds/viewForums.do

== Launchpad forums? ==

As far as I know the Launchpad doesn't offer forum functionality. They have Answers which is a knowledge base type thing.

== New column to feature table: Knowledge base ==

Some hosting facilities provide a knowledge base. For example Lauchpad has Answers.

:::The article has CodeHaus, Fedora Hosted and Tigris in it, but that isn't what interests me. I got what I want, see my Talk page edits. Admittedly, it's imperfect because the quote uses the word "currently". I did the commit message more to my liking. ---- [[User:Jamplevia|Jamplevia]] ([[User talk:Jamplevia|talk]]) 15:49, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
