No one has, has you said, "set the law". So it seems that in the mean time we'll stay in SF. Anyway, I didn't change the text for the bug reports, just disabled a few things. >> * on the main page, should I mention the new command to install >> packages "pkg install -forge package-name" > > Sure done (in the svn repository only) >> * there are two emails address for the mailing list >> "octave-dev@lists.sourceforge.net" and "octave-...@lists.sf.net". >> Should I keep only one? > > I don't really care as they go the same place. Yes, they all end in the sam eplace, it's just for consistency.

Since the decision is not final, I didn't nother to set the groups and categories. I did hide the patches (there's bugs and feature requests) and support trackers (there's mailing lists and the 2 other forums for support) though. >> We do not use the screenshots feature of SF but it's on.
