FWIW, I'd like numbers on the operation of this gforge server to see whether I can sponsor such an effort. So, whoever is responsible atm, please get in touch with me. Thank you!

Nice to hear Openmoko projects site is back online. I have no idea who maintains it but I guess it's someone from Openmoko Inc.

There are no published results visible yet, I hope he'll show us something soon :) r -- | risto h. kurppa | risto at kurppa dot fi | http://risto.kurppa.fi ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [Shr-User] Maintain(er) OpenMokoProjects [was: Openmoko projects page down]
Dear all, thanks a lot for all the input. Just 3 small comments: - for Google - I think it's more a religious discussion - but it is not only about finding stuff (or got found) more about supporting it actively. And there have been rumours about copyright issues when posting something with Google. (So - to be honest - I wouldn't dare) - opkg.org has been even deader in my eyes than gforge; although I just read the reanimation notice on its web site. Well - it has to prove activity first; and in the end it cannot replace a gforge page with all the described functionalities ... - for the gforge page itself: I am thankful for all the explainations about responsilities regarding the site; however, nobody has yet came up to say: it is me to deal with these problems. So, (well I will wait a bit longer) - but in a long term it should be sensible to migrate ... An interesting combination I have explored so far should be freshmeat and github. But it all needs some more investigation ... ;) Any input from other application developers? How do you host your development projects? (I think, most active in this list are kernel - or at least core / distribution - developers) ...

You can list a project there, but need to point elsewhere for the real content, afaik (I have listed a few projects there, none of them my own). The projects themselves are mostly, if not all, hosted elsewhere. Google Code seems to work well, I don't have experience from others. I Imho, the user interface of Google is not very appealing, as is their performance and limitation in what kind of SCM they support. I've not yet operated a project there. Alioth supports the full range of SCMs, but has the awkward GForge interface (a fork from an earlier version of SourceForge's code when it was released under the GPL). github and bitbucket and Launchpad appear to support only git, mercurial or bazaar, respectively, but I'd welcome corrections. would also think Google is reliable enough that it'll not just disappear from the net. And since working on public/open data, it really doesn't matter if you store it somewhere else - Google will find it anyway :) I'd opt for something fail-safe, if possible. That may also mean to not put all one's eggs in one basket.
