I'm not a developer. I'm slowly trying to learn some skills in my free time
so perhaps I can contribute to a project even in a small way in the future. I
am however a strong supporter of the FaiF movement. And therefore, feel this
move does not help our (?) cause.
"While originally itself open source software, SourceForge was commercialized
as v2.5 prototype code and eventually relicensed under a proprietary software
license as SourceForge Enterprise Edition. The original codebase was forked
by the GNU Project as Savane. It was also later forked as GForge by one of
the SourceForge programmers, and then GForge was itself forked as FusionForge
by three GForge developers." - (source:

... but you are right there are alternatives to Gitorious out there - jxself
provided a quick synopsis above.
