In terms of improving the hosting infrastructure, this would surely be a step forward, but the problem with "collaboration" is not that the tools are missing, it's that people are unwilling to use any tools for issue tracking, etc. This is in fact a near-universal problem. If you look at sourceforge, very few projects actually use any of the "collaboration" tools. If you want to get the project to do something, you still have to use email and CVS. And with those projects (not necessarily on sourceforge) that have a sophisticated bug tracking structure, the sheer number of filed bugs is so large and irregular in quality that the bugs are in fact meaningless. (Oddly enough, the projects I have in mind here do *not* use a full-service collaboration tool, just a bug tracker. Make of that what you will.) So yes, I think this is a reasonable plan, just don't expect "collaboration" to suddenly appear out of nowhere. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
