[Jython-dev] Should we move off of Sourceforge and if so to where?

[Frank W. <fwi...@gm...>]

We are getting very close to shipping a release candidate, and from
there it shouldn't be too far from GA.  At that point I'd like to
figure out an exit strategy from Sourceforge, or, given some recent
improvements at Sourceforge, shift the way we use Sourceforge.

My first impulse is to move to the Python.org infrastructure.  Jim
Baker and I are now members of the PSF, and Jim, Philip Jenvey, and I
have a commit bit to CPython for fixing Lib and Lib/test for Jython
compatibility.  Barry Warsaw has already offered to help get our mail
over, and I believe we could convince them to take our web presence
and let us become a parallel project in their repo, but I don't want
to ask unless this is what we all decide to do.  From what I have
heard, they will decide on a DVCS before the Pycon sprints are over
(this Thursday).  They are down to hg and bzr, either of which would
work for me.

My second thought would be to move to Kenai, because JRuby and all of
the projects we share with JRuby (jna-posix and constantine) are
there.  We would probably use hg there unless there is a strong desire
to use git.  I don't think we could move our mail archives there, but
we could freeze our old mailer and start a new mailing list at Kenai.

Since Sourceforge recently started supporting an assortment of DVCS,
bug trackers, etc, we could also take a new look at our Sourceforge
options (I'm not crazy about this one, honestly).

Where do you guys want to go?
