Obviously, I'll go along with what ever the powers that be decide,and
I am no SF evangelist by any stretch, but I think you are falling into
the same elitist-type attitude towards your (and my) OS of choice and
any projects having to do with it. Yes, SF has a lot of linux-heads
since that is who it is directed towards, but with 10's of 1000's of
project currently list, many of which are not even actively worked
upon, I doubt our project will attract the attention of those not
interested in clustering FreeBSD machines (overwhelming majority, I
would say) until a superior and legendary clustering technology
emerges from the project.
On the otherhand, a negative I see towards SF is that the project
leaders, although having a good amount of control, do not have ultimate
control of the servers themselves. In my eyes, this would be a reason
not to use SF. The benefit, though, is that its got most things you
would need (and yes, fluff you don't). Whatever is decided, I think
all would agree that effort and focus should be placed on the project's
goals and objectives, not the headaches associated with setting up
your own cvs, lists, etc.
If need be though, I can provide a mirror site or cvs, too.
BTW, what is the time line as far as setting atleast something up?
Just my $0.02
