One advantage to using gforge is gforge is what Sourceforge would have 
been if we'd been allowed to finish it. However the major disadvantage 
is that to roll out your own Gforge box you'd need hardware and 
bandwidth......

Sourceforge would be good but be aware of their new terms and 
conditions. Pat McGovern the head of SF.net and one of my old bosses has 
recently changed them. At least with sf.net you get the mailing lists 
cvs (e-smith doesnt fit in cvs).

SF really is mean for projects - this is a distro - not a MP3 player... 
I dont know whether you'd be accepted because you'd need to pull a lot 
of bandwidth -300mb a time. Most projects on there are 20mb and below. 
SW is 25mb and that was pushing it and we did get moaned at.

Hence SF.net would be a non starter - find a few academic mirrors for 
iso mirroring (I can provide you a fast mirror) and find yourself a host 
and build your OWN GForge box.
