Apart from the mailing list, I think you can host a website as long as it does not need a database. The files can be hosted in the "Releases" in the repo. I think you can host doxygen generated documentation on github pages without any issues, as these are all static webpages. > I am not sure we have the capacity to self-host all the needed infra > either. I could donate some hosting space to the project (with database and php), but this would cover only website and files - to have a mailing list I think you actually need a VPS, not a shared hosting (I may be wrong here)... On the other hand I was thinking about having a small VPS for my own project, so sharing some capacity with OpenOCD is also an option. There are multiple free services for mailing list and website hosting (like wordpress.org), but I don't think they allow to have a custom domain. > My personal opinion about github is "meh", especially given their > now-popular "special github pullrequest" software development > methodology. That said, I'm ready to play along with whatever the > maintainers choose/decide. Github has a lot of advantages. First of all it works most of the time and doesn't look like a dying service waiting for someone to pull the plug - which is the case for sourceforge. It is also extremely popular, which is quite a big advantage... Whatever we choose, I suggest we chose anything and do it soon - SF won't be here forever and the service is not getting any better /; When SF finally dies, there will be no mailing list to organize efforts...
