I am certainly thankful for all of the support the project has received from SourceForge. It is awesome. I do have concerns. I am exploring the size of the site and whether or not there might be a better way to handle this rather than being subject to the whims of a corporation whose priorities have and will change. The final answer does not have to be Drupal. Or, I might decide to learn Drupal.
