For me, freshmeat.net has always been a mainstay of the OSS world -
to see Microsoft ads and commercial software being pushed through it,
well, that just saddens me... freshmeat.net will never compete with
versiontracker.com, so why do they bother?
There is need for a real 'fresh meat' style source-code repository
site, but one does have to wonder how its bills will be paid ...
It already exists:
www.icewalkers.com
They used to have a policy of only Free Software/Open Source. Not sure
if that policy still exists.
