I've read most of it, let me try and post a summary here: The current options are: 1) Savannah 2) Sourceforge 3) GForge 4) Roll-your-own 1, 2, and 3 all offer pretty much the same things in various flavors. CVS/SVN, mailing lists, "trackers", etc. I happen to have used them all too. The largest issue here is whether to just use the existing sf.net/ savannah.{non-}gnu.org/gforge.org sites, or to do installations of them ourselves. I know a coupl people that have done administration for large Sourceforge and GForge installations. I'll ask around and get their opinions on some of the issues in dealing with them. Roll-your-own has obvious startup/development overhead in addition to some of the admin issues that the others bring. Is that a sufficient summary, or have I missed something? > > Developer Nation was mentioned.

I'm pretty dense sometimes though, so I'll ignore it for now. josh
