I'll be in a position to offer a jailed development environment within a month. Sourceforge definitely has it's advantages of many minds on the same track (clustering.foundries.sourceforge.net), with tons of poop and fluff and hip linux talk being it's downside. If the idea of starting small and growing appeals to the team (to Andy), I suggest perhaps no sourceforge for now. If the idea of popularity, gossip, and a million people'ss opinions seem beneficial and appeals to the team (to Andy), sourceforge seems key. We can always start on SF and move off, or move TO it down the road.
