As part of accelerating collaboration on our project, I'm thinking about 
upgrading our project hosting to SourceForge's new hosting software, which is 
called "Allura".  We could switch to git once that's done.

But I'd like feedback before doing so - please let me know if that's a good or 
bad idea!

Background: Allura is fully open source software.  It has been submitted to the 
Apache Software Foundation, so it's likely to stay that way.  Allura supports 
tickets; svn and git; and discussion forums with email as well as traditional 
mailing lists. Its feature list is here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/wiki/Features/

There are other great hosting sites, including github, gitorious, and so on.  
But github isn't OSS itself, which to me is a negative.  There other good 
sites, of course.  Staying in place, and just upgrading to the current 
SourceForge hosting software, seems like the least disruptive approach.  In 
particular, we can keep the mailing list.  But I think we need to start 
tracking tickets, and I'd rather upgrade/merge BEFORE doing that.
