You have a couple of options. The current "big clearing house"
for open sourced applications is sourceforge. They provide
web, CVS, and FTP service among other. You could also host the
project on your own server that you admin yourself. That
is what IBM did for their oss.software.ibm.com open source
clearing house.
Yet another option is the "new" sources.redhat.com site.
It is kind of like sourceforge except that you will not
find everything under the sun hosted there.
Does your company just want to dump the code and
never look at it again or do they plan on improving
it and folding changes from the community back into
the source? Also, what does your application
do? That will effect who will want it.
