Hi everybody
I've been very quite on the mailing lists and wiki lately, but i'm going
to try and changed that. :)
So far I don't have any problem with moving over to SourceForge, but I
think we should give it a little more time, just to make sure it's right.

I don't like the idea of setting up lot's of separate sourceforge
projects for the core parts of JOS (kernel, jvm, drivers, class
libraries, etc), I don't mind so much for applications thought.
Anyway I wouldn't imagine there being a big problem adding the access list
functionality, we are currently using with cvs to the sourceforge cvs.
Another thing I noticed in the site FAQ was this.
Who can host with SourceForge?
We're trying to keep it simple, and chose to rely on the work of a very
talented group, the Open Source Initiative. If your software utilizes
one of the OSI's approved licenses, we'd love to offer you hosting at
SourceForge. Software that falls under other licenses will require
further scrutiny, but is not altogether ruled out. In the end, we're
looking to further Open Source software development, and will approve
projects accordingly.
We currently don't have a project wide license, I think this is something
we should work on before moving over.
