Let's take a review of what we have in place, and what's needed, as it relates to Sourceforge.

What we have in place that Sourceforge also has:
-----------------------------------------------

1. CVS Repository (being implemented by Amar at Stanford)
2. Documentation home (several parties already have this in place)
3. Project-specific email lists (finished by Amar)

What Sourceforge has that we don't:
----------------------------------

1. Public registry of developers, helpers, administrators
(Amar and I are keeping an informal running list of interested parties).
2. Forums (though I never see these widely utilized, and maybe something like UBB or PHPBB would be better solutions, though these require more administrative overhead)
3. Bug tracking/feature request and response system
4. The outside exposure Andy was talking about

We could compromise, by opening a home on Sourceforge, but having our home there link to our own outside tools.
