I agree with Jeff, that we should not rush making this decision. I think we need 2 project "sites". One is for officially pimping _some_ gnome projects, which could be wgo/projects. Another is a project management site, that could be projects.gnome.org. That could be a (*forge/traq/whatevermanagesyourproject)-like site.
Thus, the former would be a "marketed" section featuring the most prominent gnome projects, the other is a community playground. How does that sound? Greg ps: obviously projects.gnome.org is out of scope for this release.
