As I have already written. 1. Independence. There is the danger that you are locked into the project and depend on their reaction time. See the BerliOS and renaming the mailing list issues. Using a server for yourself you are in control of it. 2. As I have written. Maybe it is no overhead for Alex or Heinz since they need to administer a server and those services anyway. We both do not know that. Thanks, Paul
