My experience with sourceforge leads me to tentatively conclude: If you have a low-priority project that you work on intermittently, with maybe a few other developers, and you don't want to bother with setting up any infrastructure (i.e. public repositories and trackers), it's very very useful. I'm involved with a couple of projects like this. If you live and breathe some particular project(s), you *will* get bit by sourceforge service outages and the inability to really tweak the infrastructure to your needs. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
