Ah, right. I guess SF also does. You get more traffic that way too.

But yeah, even if you use those sites, I think it's a good idea to also showcase your project on forums that are similarly themed. For example, calc forums. More people will be interested.

The more places you post, the more succes you get. That's the rule of programming popularity :) If the program is good, word will spread and you don't need advertisement anymore :)

Yeah, back in the days, people usually cross-posted their projects on multiple sites. MaxCoderz was usually avoided for pure-BASIC games and UTI for hybrid, though, because those were not received well on those sites. Basically you showcase your work where you can and where you judge it's best. I personally try to cross-post updates on stuff I work on here and Cemetech so it reaches a wider audience. Eventually, people just come to check your stuff.

By posts per day which is the most TI active forum? Just wondering.

If you upload them to ticalc.org you'll have lots of success too, I'm sure of that.

I have to second the vote for github/gitorious for quick and simple VCS hosting they do the job very well and GIT is a very powerful VCS once you get past the minor learning curve and I have found it to be much nicer than SVN though SVN is quick to setup.

Nice to see someone not using the main ones and defending them :)

Right now it's Omnimaga, then Cemetech, but sometimes Cemetech has spikes of activity accross the year so they get more. I think Omni has about 400 a day, Cemetech 200 and TI-BASIC Developer 10. I don't think UTI even gets 10 a day anymore. I'm not sure about TI-BANK.

CodePlex does indeed offer a SVN version of the TFS repositories, but it's very slow for me when mirroring WabbitEmu :)

I've been using Git for more than three years, mostly on top of SVN. I only recently started to use pure Git for projects I'm maintaining - for now, ExtGraph and tiosmod/amspatch, but more will follow some time before I leave the TI community.

I hope you don't leave too soon X.x but again I would understand since you have done calc stuff for so long (longer than me I think). Still, it will be a sad day when you go. :S

Codeplex is great now that I saw it, it's Source Code uploader looks rather great (tiDE codeplex)

Codeplex is precisely not that great (I'm not doing mere dumb Microsoft bashing), and anyway, it is far from having the recognition that SourceForge, Google Code or Github have :)

It may not have recognition, but it has lots of nice features.

I just found out how that I can upload things I do using SharpDev to codeplex and it does it all alone. Really good.

That's just a feature of subversion, it's not specific to Codeplex.
