OK, well I am trying to figure out how to get this puppy onto source forge.

If you want, you can add your app to the ABC Music Project, already on SourceForge and home of quite a few other ABC related applications. See <http://abc.sourceforge.net/> and <https://sourceforge.net/projects/abc/>. Feel free to contact me in private if you want help with using the SF facilities. If you let me know what your user name is, I'll add you to the project members.
I had though that you were gone, since I got this:

Not Found
The requested URL /NMD/nmd/NMD.zip was not found on this server.
One link on the site doesn't work and you conclude the project is gone? ;-) If you try the other links of the Nottingham Music Database page, you'll notice that they do work.
Okay, so I'm doing a lousy job maintaining the site. ;-) So much to do, so little time...
I have looked at putting things on source forge, but am now going toward Savannah. The main problem being that sourceforge now wants me to assign them the copyright, along with any future works I may produce ! And they don't want to say anything at all about open source.
Where does it say that? If you want to start a SF project <https://sourceforge.net/register/>, a paragraph about the "Importance of Open Source" is the first thing you read. You are required to choose an open source (OSI-approved) license and it says nothing about the copyright. See section 6 of the SourceForge.net Terms and Conditions of Use. You do give OSDN the right to use "publicly-available statistical content" concerning project activity and whatnot. Which is logical since it's generated by SF itself. As for other content, "the submitting user retains ownership of such SourceForge.net Public Content", it says in the agreement.
Actually, the Free Software Foundation also recommends to give them copyright to any Free software you write. This way, they have a better position if anyone infringes on the copyright and they can sue the evil bastards on your behalf should the need arise.
I recently started another SF project and it's damn well copyrighted by me! ;-) And GPL'ed, of course...
However, Savannah *is* as good a choice as SF, or even better. No complaints there...
Sorry if this was a bit off-topic.
Cheers,
