Reading over the Allura features list, http://sourceforge.net/p/allura/wiki/Features/, I don't see significant problems nor amazing new capability. - Allura offers feature tracking rethought "from the ground up" and fire-polished during the development of Allura. How much more useful it would be for us than the existing SourgeForge Trackers remains to be seen. I didn't notice any statement about possible impact of the release of Allure on the continued support of the existing trackers. - Allura offers threaded-discussion forums which look, superficially at least, like the linuxcnc forums. The announcement does not say what will happen to SourceForge maillists. Even if it doesn't have to, perhaps the emc-developers email list could migrate to a Allura threaded-discussion forum? - Allura offers a wiki for documentation development. Now isn't that special? - Allura offers a code repository that supports git, mercurial, and subversion (but only old svn repositories, they say in the FAQ) and supports browser-based code browsing. We already have these features in our repository. Would we consider migrating it to Allura hosted on SourceForge? - Allura is written in Python. It must be the Right Stuff :-) Perhaps the biggest attraction lies in the consolidation of these features into one code package which one could easily configure and and run either on SourceForge hardware or other hardware and keep (I assume) the same data same interfaces, and same look-and-feel.
