You're welcome. I use github for my public projects, but bitbucket for
private projects that require an issue tracker and team collaboration.
I think the BB is definitely what you want for right now if the limit
of 5 is not too low. If you get seriously into the project(s), then
you can upgrade and access some pretty neat features offered by the
parent company. BB is their gateway drug, but it's some good sh*t. :)

If you have a .edu email address (or know someone who does), I think you can
get around that collaboration limit.
