You guys probably know this, but just in case. You could use the
savannah software (a further development of an older open source version
of sourceforge) if you want to host everything yourself.
See:
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/savannah/
Jaap,
I'm sure the recommendation is appreciated, but I'm curious: what does
savannah offer the gforge doesn't? I'm sure you know the difference,
but folks who don't know one from the other may not, and could really
benefit from a description. The research experience that led to your
recommendation of Savannah could really be a great big help here.
I hear, for instance, that gforge is maintained by a very recently
ex-sourceforge developer, which says a lot to me about potential code
quality and avoidance of pitfalls or some nasty code that may be lurking
in the SF codebase that's been fixed in gforge.
Potentially.
