Personally, I'm against using SourceForge for future projects. There has already been much talk about getting Tcl/Tk off of SourceForge in the future, and it is exceedingly hard to do that right now. I would hate to see us put more projects there. I don't have an answer as to what we SHOULD use, but that's just my opinion. Some mention has been made of using Fossil repos on some future basis. It's distributed, nice and small, and it's written by one of our own. I use Git for just about everything these days and Github for hosting, but I would rather come up with something that we (we being the Tcl community) own ourselves. We don't have anything like Rubyforge or the like, but it sure would be nice. I guess I don't have an answers about what we SHOULD do right now, just an opinion on what I'd rather we not do. Which is not very helpful, I grant you, but that's all I got. More discussion with the community as a whole is needed here. TDOM is a project that while definitely relating to Rivet and the Web in general is a symptom of a larger issue. We don't have anyplace to put stuff that can belong to the community. At this point I don't even think we need something as big and grand as Rubyforge. Just a machine where Fossil (or Git or whatever) repos could live would be a good start. We can worry about the interface later.
