yes, you're right, but Norbert point is that, right now, you cannot fork the project (and you should be able to do it)

Is there an explanation why in smalltalkhub every project resides below a user? 

because things in this universe don't get done if someone isn't leading it? :D

the leader of any project is (a) the curator of that project and (b) the one positioned to better inspire followers

if people likes it, people follows the project and/or the guy

if someone doesn't like the direction, that person can fork and lead it himself in another direction

github got it right, I'm glad smalltalkhub too

and it's not about mimicking github (which wouldn't be bad) it's mimicking the way people want to work

it's about natural selection applied to software projects at its best

makes sense?

PD: if someone abandons a project, no big deal, it will be there hanging out while another fork might be flourishing. Also projects property should be transferrable from one user to another for the cases in which that happens orderly.
