Hi all,
An impending issue for us to ponder:
BerliOS has announced that their hosting service for open-source
projects like ours will end on April 30 of this year.
We must consider the available options for moving the WSJT project
elsewhere.
BerliOS is cooperating with SourceForge to (supposedly) make migration
there relatively painless. I'm not a SourceForge fan -- there's far too
much extraneous "noise" (read: Advertising) on their web pages, which
anyway seem to me to be poorly designed and organized.
Nevertheless, SourceForge *may* be our best option. We don't use the
repository web site as the place most users go for downloads -- I've
always kept the WSJT Home Page elsewhere, and it has no annoying
pollution from advertising. Those of us who contribute to source code
and documentation use the repository almost entitrely for checkouts and
commits, so we seldom need to look at the web pages. In that case,
SourceForge may not be too objectionable.
With that said, I'm certainly not an expert on these things. Does
anyone know of an alternative to SourceForge that might be better?
Any other opinions or advice?
-- Joe, K1JT
