The situation was indeed pretty different when you started Gforge. But what you said before about "politics" tend to explain why you never express to Savane people any desire to work together.
Maybe I never heard of savane before a couple weeks ago? Has anyone else? I don't think I've ever come across a site that uses it?
I'm busy trying to get other free software projects to MERGE WITH GFORGE, and your only interest is in forking because you can't function and work anyone who doesn't share you worldview.
Examples: Debian-SF -> GForge merge completed a year ago GBorg -> GForge migration is almost complete at Postgresql.org XoopsForge -> GForge merge will begin at Company XX shortly
Nice. Is it supposed to prove anything?
Yes, it proves two things. 1) we have a lot of momentum and 2) we want to work with others and have them put their effort into a common cause. There are a lot of old, dead forks of sourceforge, and dead attempts to rewrite it. I wish they would all be abandoned and everyone work on a common codebase.
Savannah -> GForge migration will begin soon
What does it have to do with a merge? Do you call that a success story, a succesful platform that get broken for more than a month with decisions being made for no known reasons, against the will of the people that made the platform running almost only by themselves over the year?
Maybe you just aren't aware of the reasons? I have received phone calls from FSF that said they had a lot of reasons that made sense to me. Mainly, that their old codebase was not being actively developed any more and that their volunteers would not tolerate the new security restrictions.
I personnally am more concerned about the story I heard (which may be erroneous, you tell me) that you sell proprietary extensions along with GForge, and that you LGPLize some part that were GPL for similar reasons. I do not think that the way free software should be financed and such thing would prevent prevent joint work, if that's a matter to you, unless it is proven to be an erroneous story. So if it is erroneous, I would be glad to hear it.
It's halfway correct, I handled the reporting module very poorly and did not explain clearly what I was doing. When I developed it, I expected it would be easy to raise $20k to release it under ransom model, but it has proven very difficult.
However, we do have $20,300 in pledges now for the reporting module, and when everyone gets their checks in, it will be released to the public as GPL. I cannot say when everyone will send their checks in, as I can't control it.
