Where to post contributions?
Hello Arch Users,
I am brand new to Arch Linux. I've been using Linux for about 12 years now and am really excited to have found a new distro that resonates with my own values so well. I'm looking forward to becoming an active participant in the community. My first question is what is the standard way of posting contributions? I have a cool project I'd like to share but don't own any of my own web real estate at the moment to host it. I tried to post it to my user page on the Arch wiki but can't figure out how to attach stuff there. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

If its code, you could do github or something similar.
If its a tar.gz... not sure where you'd host that without your own domain.
Allan-Volunteer on the (topic being discussed) mailn lists. You never get the people who matters attention on the forums.
jasonwryan-Installing Arch is a measure of your literacy. Maintaining Arch is a measure of your diligence. Contributing to Arch is a measure of your competence.
Griemak-Bleeding edge, not bleeding flat. Edge denotes falls will occur from time to time. Bring your own parachute.

I only just started hosting my personal projects online. I signed up with SourceForge because... well, that's where I remember always finding good free and open source software hosted.
Since they both support git, (which is what I use with SourceForge) is there any benefit to using github?

I have not tried it myself, but I've heard a lot of people complaining on sourceforge - it's proprietary (at least was), they block people from some countries, not that inuitive... But, I havent used it myself.
Github totally rocks in my opinion. I would recommend you to try it out.. I bet you wont regret it.
I started hosting my projects at google code, and it totally sucked.
