  2. Has anyone used Bonobo in production?

    https://github.com/jakubgarfield/Bonobo-Git-Server By production I mean as in a working environment rather than just playing with it or testing it. I want to get away from TFS to Git but I want to keep the repositories…

  3. Ask HN: What other good mail providers are out there?

    Just read this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3581613 There were a couple of providers mentioned, but nothing seemed to stand out as being better than GMail. I've been using GMail since (approximately) 2004 and…

  11. Ask HN: Does anyone know of any .NET user groups in London?

    I've found this one: http://www.dnug.org.uk/ but the register button is 404'ed and there's nothing about any forthcoming meetings. Is anyone here a member of this one or any others in London?

    There are some good blogs about PHP, Ruby and Python out there, but I haven't come across many good ASP.NET ones. The ones I know about are Scott Gu and Scott Hanselman, but I haven't found any other really good ones.…

  20. Ask HN: The Hacker News effect

    There was a question asked a while ago if Slashdot was as popular as it was a few years ago and it made me think: does Hacker News have its own "effect"? I.e. if you link to something is it the same as the digg/slashdot…
