Hi Jason, I have one extension hosted at mozdev and one hosted on sourceforge (SF), so I think I'm in a good position to provide an opinion. I've also hosted other projects on SF over the years. Here's my opinion on why mozdev is better:
Pro mozdev reasons: -Uptime at mozdev is excellent. SF downtime is a real problem--I'm not just talking about web access and download access, I'm talking about their tooling: cvs, subversion, ssh, etc. Notice i didn't include mirrors outside SF control) -Community at mozdev is small enough to make personal connections -Built-in version control of your website via CVS -Support is prompt, personal, and excellent Pro SF reasons: -Subversion -MySQL -Shell access Bottom line: SF has better tooling, but that's about it IMHO. --- Jason Harrop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > No doubt this question has been discussed before, but i'd be grateful > to have a current view on the advantages and disadvantages of hosting > a GPL'ed Firefox extension at Mozdev or sourceforge. > > thanks > > Jason > _______________________________________________ > Project_owners mailing list > [email protected] > http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners > _______________________________________________ Project_owners mailing list [email protected] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners
