The GitHub Developer Program
I'd certainly be interested in knowing what the heck "select features" might be, and what exactly I can do with a development license for GH products... but it's really hard to see whats in it for me with such an uninformative marketing page.
I'm not yet making money off of my github integration, so I can't justify jumping to a paid plan just to see what this is all about...
It isn't clear to me what this is. Does anyone mind explaining?

Nice! Finally. We've been itching for this since building ZenHub.io, our project management extension built on top of GitHub (http://zenhub.io)
At first I thought this might be a developer program to help you run developer programs. Which might be interesting.
Instead it seems more like an airline affinity program. Like, congratulations you get baggage tags.
This is great to hear. My product was designed to be a complementary asset for GitHub and I was wondering what would be the best way to get in contact. And low and behold, they have the "Take on the enterprise" link that lets you know how.
The real money has always been in enterprise and the fact that companies are still shelling out $3,000 for ClearCase licenses demonstrates this. Git is becoming more and more important in enterprise, so it's nice to see GitHub is really going after this market.
Very cool! I'd pinged GitHub's bizdev team to ask about a developer program a few months back and was told that something was in the works. I'm impressed with what they have so up and running so far.
Question for anyone from GH who's reading this - will there be documentation released for how to integrate with GH Enterprise? I imagine there are some implementation details (e.g. OAuth access) that differ between regular GH and a GH enterprise install.
Is anybody aware why they're limiting this to paid plans?
I'd be on one if there was a benefit besides private repos, which have no use to me.
Can someone provide some more information? The page is basically just redirects to existing resources, and has you signup for a program. What's new here? What are they offering?
Neat. This is better motivation for me to hop on the paid account tier than the private repos, which I have no use for because I don't hide my personal source code.
(I mean, if I were to do it, it would be mainly to support a company that makes a great product I use and love. Voting with my wallet for things I want to see more of in this world, and all that. Since they don't wanna take money from me via Gittip. :( )

Hate to be picky, but shouldn't it be "kudos are all yours"?
I like to think I write decent copy, and am genuinely curious. I'm assuming whoever wrote that actually thought about it, and can probably tell me why I'm wrong
That is a great news! We were thinking about it for our GitHub issue queue product heavily relying on the GitHub API: Octokan (http://octokan.com/).
Actual blog post about it: https://github.com/blog/1790-announcing-the-github-developer...

Do they accept personal website for now? I have ideas but not a product or a domain to spare
