That was originally going to be the location for Plucker, until we
realized that their environment is intentionally crippled beyond usability
for distributed development teams. They did this in the name of "security",
and it has caused a lot of people to migrate away from SourceForge.
The other issue of course, is that they don't let you move your code
away from them. Once you put your code on their servers, you basically give
them copyright assignment to the code. They insist they want to keep the
projects there, even if you move it away to a different server because "If
you go away, the project will still remain for other users to reference".
Many of us (not the Plucker team, but community members) believe this is a
marketing ploy so they can continue to justify numbers to their sponsors.
There's an interesting article on this you might want to read:
