Here's my take, roughly: SF has pros and cons, and one of the
pros is that we're already using it.

If we put a wiki here, a mailing list there, a web site
some other place things will become unmanageable.

A commercial grade server to host everything is another
story. Async could fund that. But note this means stuff like
root access and also direct net connectivity: after all we
want to test things like a Felix web server.

A strategic partner such as IBM or Google would be best though:
two big IT companies without their own language. (MS has C#
and .NET languages and Sun has Java).

IBM has an Open Source development centre in Canberra,
they pay people to work on stuff like Samba.

Other obvious cases are Redhat .. and of course VALinux,
or whoever owns them now .. the owners of Sourceforge :)
