On one hand you have Mercurial, a more than capable DVCS with the lowest barrier of entry IMHO (you will love it while you learn it), and the very good service that is Bitbucket, now kind of catching up to github (but not there yet). However, Bitbucket doesn't have =97AFAIK=97 the quantity of use= rs github has, and that would be extremely healthy for the project. On the other hand you have git, which is a very popular and powerful DVCS, however (you will pull your hairs out while learning it but will love it in the end) it is not as straight-forward to get working as Mercurial. Having current SVN-only contributors learn it might going to be quite a challenge. If I could vote I'd vote for mercurial, but then again, I bet having PHP on github will increase contributions very quickly. Damn.
