Developer Nation is open[1] for anyone who wants to host a project there. They can use it for just the few tools they want, such as housing binary objects and making announcements. If someone has an active project, let's use the tools. I'm looking into Greg's question, which is, "Would we trap Fedora projects in the CollabNet-based Developer Nation?" If the answer is good enough for us to proceed, we could setup devnation.fedoraproject.org and give projects the Fedora association (v. the redhat.com association.)

Yeah, Developer Nation has all that. CVS or SVN, take your choice. :) > How do we tie it together? Do we take the savannah software? > Something else? Roll our own? (shudder) Gforge? If we decide that Developer Nation isn't going to fit, then I recommend we put up our own instance of one of these tools. CollabNet is definitely at the forefront on features. As a managed service, it is comprised largely of FLOSS components with CollabNet's own Java wrapped around it. If the vendor lock-in is the concern that stops us using the CollabNet-based instance, perhaps we could still setup under the same Developer Nation banner at devnation.fp.o but with different software. However, the benefit of sharing a platform is much, much more than the sum of the parts. The benefit of a full platform like CollabNet or Gforge is like the difference of a proper CMS over cobbled-together publishing + Wiki. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Editor * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Fedora Documentation Project http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject Learn.
