This is something Alioth provides, I can't say about Launchpad. Everyone can create an account and start to work. It also has manageable tasks via a web interface. > It has also nothing to do with the vcs we are using which I propose to > be whatever everyone likes (e.g., I 'm planning to use git because I > really like and understand it and expose it perhaps through > gitorious or something). I'd also prefer Git. Every Alioth user can place Git repositories into the public_git directory in his home directory. It's then accessible to others via http://git.debian.org/?p=users/$USERNAME/$REPO. > So please base your decision on the technical merits of each solution > alone, i.e., which one is faster, less annoying, more familiar to you > to work with etc., Sure. This is why I went for Alioth but I'm also open for learning new things. > I don't see how the barrier is raised for DDs as long as the pkg-java > repo is the authoritative source for agreed upon work. Are DDs more > familiar with the alioth (gforge) bugtracker? Yes, I think so. But I have no numbers on that. I know gforge from SF.net in my long over upstream days. On the other hand, I never had a close look to Launchpad. I heared mixed things about it but did not give it a try; since it simply wasn't needed so far. If we go for it, I will have. (I heared that DDs already have auto-created Launchpad accounts. Do you know somehing about that?) > I expect we have about 50 tasks to complete until the package is ready > but from the perspective of this list there is only one task: "upgrade > eclipse" :-) Easy, isn't it?!

It worked for me on SF.net but I have not used it on Alioth lately. Also, I do not care much about it. Best regards Manuel
