Maybe but not sure. The point is to host it on our forge since we have a forge... Why would we want to host somewhere else where we have a less good quality of service, where we don't control the tools, etc? :) Unless we join a community related to WYSIWYG or GWT and not a forge (SourceForge vs Apache Software Foundation for ex).
