They also have a mound of debt and no end in sight. In addition, their services can be problematic at times. For instance, the CVS servers were almost completely unusable from oh about April until just recently.
I really think VA Software isn't going to be around much more and when they die what happens to SF? I'm not sure I'd want to trust my project these days on something like that. :-/
But, you're right, the price is nice.
Perhaps I should have explicitly stated that resources are not an obstacle in this instance. I am not in search of free or low-cost hosting solutions, as we have plenty of machines and bandwidth to expend on a miniature scale OSS project.
What I had hoped to begin was a dialogue surrounding the mechanisms and aspects of running a successful OSS project (of any size, audience, or merit). Particularly interesting would be voices that have participated in an OSS project and/or those who have closely followed two or three in their development.
I appreciate the cost-saving suggestions, and especially the ESR link from Jim Ray (*very* helpful!). And thanks to Magnus for reminding me of our Ace in the Hole. I will definitely bend the ear of Don R. next time I see him!
Thanks again! dave m.
