I personally have never had a problem with SourceForge's hosting, although I'm 
quite aware some of their actions have been dubious.

Viking uses numerous services: code, binary distribution, email list, wiki, 
forum and bug+feature trackers.

Migrating the bug+feature trackers seems a tricky task, especially as various 
code commits make reference to such SourceForge Bug Ids.

I suppose the Viking SourceForge site, could go into a freeze state such that 
is still available for reference.

> Any idea for the best new hosting solution?

I don't really want to spend much time maintaining/switching to any site, 
however I have set up 'viking-gps' organization on Github (the name 'viking' 
was already taken) and transferred my code repository to that. 

I will look to make a parallel 1.6.1 release on Github and have created a basic 
website on http://viking-gps.github.io/

Whether this will become the Viking's new home or not, we shall see.

The one downside to Github hosting (other than being a propriety service) is 
the lack of an email-list / forum or similar. So for code the Issue tracker is 
fine, but for meta discussions and thoughts such as these - there doesn't seem 
to be an equivalent.
