Thank you, James, for Chiselapp. I'm sorry to see it go.

One of the most important things that drew me to Chiselapp, and to using Fossil 
for personal projects, was free private accounts. It is important to have a low 
barrier to entry. I imagine there would need to be bandwidth and storage 
limitations for free accounts, but these limits should be set up so a new user 
would be assured that the limits would not be exceeded accidentally. They could 
be big enough to make this obvious, or actual usage could be reported 
prominently to the repo owner.

I find the word "advertising" to be confusing here in the context of  the 
linked page.

Do you mean banner ads on pages in unpaid accounts? That would be OK to me.

Yes. 

My Chiselapp usage includes a mix of open-source and private repos in the same 
account, so perhaps the designation of {open/free, open/paid, private/free, 
private/paid} should be on a repo-basis and not on an account basis.
