Hello All,

I replied to this earlier, thought I had sent it too the list, but
went back to Joe only.

Link to Open Source Hosting facilities, comparing features, popularity
and such:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source_software_hosting_facilities

My recommendations would be, in order of preference:

* Launchpad
* Google Code
* GNU Savannah
* GitHub
* Gitorious

All of these are well supported, provide a range of free tools and
should work well for WSJT projects.

Personally, I like Launchpad for it's versatile work flows, tools
integration (bugs, blueprints, Q&A, Translations, etc.)

Google Code would be next with Savannah a very close second. Git is ok
for really large projects which need or want true distributed
work-flows. I think it's overkill for smaller projects.
