We started in on codehaus for confluence and jira. Jira being the main 
attraction, and the ability to discover a bug
in one spot (say geoserver) hunt it down into the implementation (move 
the bug to geotools) and track api consequences (link to
bugs in geoapi).  Codehaus does have the requirement of a biz friendly 
license and works based on recommendations (we needed a couple
of letters inorder to establish GeoAPI on codehaus).

Note that these things are not clear cut, geoapi is explicitly source 
forge project - it is just making use of the best facilities for the 
task at hand:
- confluence - codehaus
- blogs - codehaus
- jira - codejaus
- svn - sourceforge
- distribution - sourceforge
- emaillist - sourceforge

uDig had to resort to hosting confluence ourself given the amount of 
downtime codehaus was experiencing.  I am not sure when OSGeo will be 
ready for biz, my impression
is we are punting the initial projects through an IP check to get a feel 
for what we are doing, and then can write up some useful guidelines.

Cheers,
Jody
