Hi Aral, Sure, I understand what you mean here. But my point was that "doing it right" would require a lot more investement than just a automatic signup and management script. When you look at the quality and stability of free services such as Google Code, I can't help thinking that OSFlash should focus on what we're best at, and not try to build a service that will not give its users enough satisfaction compared to existing ones. Or else, if you want to provide the same level of features, it requires a lot more work and investement. I don't think it would be a bad idea to move hosting to Google Code, that would help small projects to get listed easily, simply by setting a "osflash" tag for example. The tag system itself it very good to find the projects by topics of interest, and working on the OSFlash site could be for example to retreive all "osflash" tagged projects and automaticaly generate the corresponding project page on OSFlash.org, for instance.
