The stories of GoogleCode and Codehaus are that a system set up for CVS/Subversion cannot compete with GitHub and BitBucket in the DVCS- era. Has anyone tried GitLab (was Gitorious)? SourceForge is trying to rework itself, but it is very resource intensive, and this only really viable for an organization with large funds. All the other "forges" that I have been associated with are now either gone or left lying around as archives for historical purposes. dsource.org is not, in my opinion, worth resurrecting to try and compete with GitHub and BitBucket. If there is some non-code-hosting role not fulfilled by dlang.org then maybe, but as it is I would make the notice on the front page of dsource.org much larger and then just let it be. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
