the challenge here is with integrity of the archive. now maybe this is different with the Web space but the last time I used source for for this (IPCop wiki), we had major problems with unauthorized people deleting our site. Source for is not protected from vandalism is far as I know.

Any webspace will do, really.
I have several archives on the webspace of my provider even though I only have webdavs access. I receive any contributions via email and patch my local copy. After that I update the public archive by uploading the new files in _darcs/patches _darcs/checkpoints and as a last one _darcs/inventory

Works like a charm :)

I'm sure it does but I am not going to be a patch coordinator. The person who is does not have their own mail server and has no interest in running a mail server. Until we can start retreating patches via pop 3, this solution is rather narrowly focused.

I was talking with some people on IRC last night and the SMTP based patch feed does have some charms in a source forge like environment if you assume that patch is only come from trusted people and do not go through some human process on the front-end.

but implicit in my original request was the need for the "whole enchilada". Complete with mailing list, bug tracking, project Web presentation, release etc. Even though I have the facilities for running my own source forge in my basement, sometimes I just want to spend my time enjoying how wonderful darcs is as I work on the project, not as I maintain the infrastructure.
