I think Sourceforge will do for awhile if:
 - we get rsync working
 - have enough mirrors in case it is in yoyo-mode
 - have enough mirrors when we're experimenting 

The most important thing imho is that all developers have access to web,
the repository and the possibility to upload files right away.  In my
crystal-ball I see changes in the future for cCLan and it'd be nice 
to have full shell access when experimenting with rpms, portable 
lisp-packages, or any other scheme someone comes up with etc.
