OK, probably I haven't enough experience with sourceforge. But could someone please explain me what effort you are talking about that would make it worse to use their service? Of course, provided the fact that you have a running web-service and DNS. Well, in response to Marc's comment about deficiencies with gimp.org, you suggested upgrading gimp.org to cope. I think that that's wasted effort that could better go into the software itself. Sourceforge is surely a great thing if you have a project and need a place on the web. But in our case we have a project and we have a place on the web. All we have to do is to find skilled volunteers, settle on a direction and do it. It's not just a place on the web; it's also hosting for the actual development effort, bug tracking, mailing lists, discussion forums, a build farm, and more goodies.
