Also let me add that sourceforge.net is not perfect either.  Sure
account creation is not a problem, but:

  * CVS/SVN is slow

  * They have considerably more down-time than GNOME

  * Their bugtracking tool sucks

  * You are not in the same bugzilla as the libraries you use (so you
can't just reassign bugs...)

  * You don't get the same translation benefits that you get at GNOME

  * They push a lot of ads in your mailing list and other parts of the
project, to point a few problems with it.

I've tried other services too, nongnu.org, gnu.org, and freedesktop.org.
None is much faster/better than GNOME.  So, I would say lets work on
improving things here at GNOME.


Cheers,
