GitHub adds features for academic research

[Tim Lahey]

Hi,

I ran across this today,

https://github.com/blog/1840-improving-github-for-science

It seems that they're offering 5 private repos for education and most
notably, support for a DOI for a tagged release. Given that a number of
people here use SymPy for academic research, this might be of interest.

Cheers,

Tim.

You can use bitbucket for (unlimited) private repos (that's what I
do). But the DOI
thing is really cool.
