Further to the discussions the other week, i've looked into both Sourceforge (www.sourceforge.org) and Savannah (www.savannah.nongnu.org)

Sourceforge (SF) is larger (~55,000 projects, ~550,000 users) compared to Savannah (SV) (~1400 projects, ~13,000 users) although both seem to offer very similar functions - CVS repository, home page, mailing lists, download area, etc.

AFAIK, they are different revisions of the same code - therefore they
have similar functions.  SF is backed by a commercial entity.  SV,
AFAIK, is backed by the FSF.

I could believe that.

If I had to pick one of the two, I vote SV.  IMO, exposure is a
non-issue.  This is the Internet afterall.  We have search engines and
other methods of getting our URL known.  Won't opencard.org point to the
correct site anyways?

Yes, opencard.org will point to the correct place and as the opencard site has
been around for a while and gets fairly good profiles in search engines it shouldn't
be a problem. I was thinking more of my own experience where I have went to SF
and searched on it for types of projects - as SF currently has more projects it
may seem more attractive to developers looking about for code. I'm not
overly bothered about it though.
