Brian,
Sourceforget sucks. Don't start using it just because I did. :)
I'd be really curious to hear your opinions on Sourceforge (there may be a
push to force us to start using it here at work). If you don't think you
could sum it up and briefly and/or think it's too off-topic here, maybe you
could post it somewhere else. But I'm sure lots of folks could benefit from
your accumulated wisdom. :)
I think one issue is that the only still offer CVS for SCM, while many people
want something else now: Subversion or darcs for example. ( Although people
have figured out how to publish darcs repos into their SF web space:
http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-d5a5bbdfabe810765004987ace054cb5e90e9ab8
).
There's also the ads. It's nice to work in ad-free environment whenever possible.
It's still nice that SourceForge bundles several services that somewhat
integrated and
ready-to-go.
Their mailing list support sucks really, really bad. Posts are often
delayed. Arcive messages change id so links eventually expire.
CVS has been faily reliable though; no complaints. They are in the
proceess of adding Subversion support. YEA!
Ads haven't really bothered me, but then I'm pay subscribtion dues to
support sf.net, so most ads are removed - I think.
Support has been quick and helpful.
Hmm, I guess mailing list problems are the only really offensive thing I
can think of, atm.
