I looked into it some ... Google search on:
  sourceforge wikispaces
gets lots of hits, but mostly the hits are the
press release, which is lots of yada-yada,
but very light on details.

The wikispaces.com site does not mention
sourceforge anywhere that I could find.

A search for wikispaces on SourceForge
yields zero hits.

However, "Site News" on the SourceForge
main page has a link to:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=705842

which says ...

so it seems promising indeed. I'm not sure what they
mean by "powered by Wikispaces"; hopefully, they mean
the wiki engine itself, and not the wikispaces.com, which
is funded by ads and/or fees. Seems likely.

The next step seems to be to enable via Admin tab,
and poke around some. I'd do this myself, but I'm not
an admin.
