Trent's idea of getting the happs folks involved sounds interesting. > I don't believe there is any software yet, that's what's holding the > project back.

So, I can tihnk of three pieces of software that we would need 1. basic hosting: managing new project and new user requests 2. forge: repository browsing, issue tracking, etc 3. social code: nice cross-project integration For now, the main priority is to set up #1 so that we can provide some minimalistic along the lines of code.haskell.org. code.haskell.org do have some simple code for managing this (for example the addtoproject script that users can run). By simple, it should really just be a matter of creating groups, setting default permissions, creating directories, etc. Hopefully, the code.haskell.org folks can make their code for managing the site public. If not, we could adapt the instructions from http://wiki.darcs.net/index.html/TracOnDarcs along with the helper scripts on http://trac.loria.fr/projects/admindt This is a combination of #1 and #2. Admindt goes about #1 in a somewhat hokey way; each project is treated as a new user. But surely we can rewrite this to better distinguish between between users and groups. If anybody wants to pick this up and run with it, it would be a great service to the darcs community :-) > On the other hand, it might be better to make use of existing repository > browsers like Trac+darcs or Darcsweb...
