Re: [Exist-development] DVCS - Distributed Version Control?

[Adam R. <ad...@ex...>]

Moving away from SourceForge would seem a little extreme to me, and
certainly would raise larger questions than just what SCM we use.

Perhaps it would be worth contacting sourceforge and finding out what
their plans for Mercurial are? They are only trialling it at the
moment, so I guess they will have a roadmap for making it a primary
service and probably offering a http service.
