FLOSSing community, but it's just not good, imho, for so many projects
to rely on one vendor's project hosting solution. Besides, I'm more
interested in using svn than cvs. Someone else suggested berlios.de, but
they put banner adds all over everything, and again, it's a "host
everything here" type of solution ... My gut tells me that independently
hosted projects, or smaller clusters of projects on smaller services
will be more scalable in the long term.
Valid points (although "host everything here" sites are very
convenient). I'd just like to point out that SourceForge does offer SVN
now, you just have to enable it on the Admin page for your project.
