The open-source "ideal" of the project, as far as I see it, applies only to what is included-in/released-by Fedora (Core/Extras) (*). I agree it certainly is appealing to be able to apply this same ideal to the project entirely (ie, including internal project infrastructure), but my opinion is that in this case, the cost is just too high. I had thought that it was a given that the fedora project absolutely *needed* project hosting. We have to weigh this need (and possibly not satisfying it with an open-source solution) against the cost of upholding your theoretical ideal. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that we should use sourceforge. I'm saying that I think it is too early to say that we should not. -- Rex (*) After a quick scan of both fedora.redhat.com and fedoraproject.org, I couldn't find any definition of Fedora's ideals/goals (I'm sure it's there somewhere). I'll be perfectly happy to shut up if a definitive definition of Fedora and it's goals/ideals exists, that says these ideals apply to Fedora infrastructure as well.
