I agree, seems like they did everything on their own and they are
reluctant to changes. There are some nice features though, like
highlighting on the front page which project got updated recently.

I also don't like how much "me too" has gathered in that community.
First it was only on the mailing lists. Now it comes that far that
people write bug reports the type of "plz send mp3 vhdl code".

I like that option too.

I have been working with trac recently http://trac.edgewall.org/, it has
a web interface for svn, ticket system and wiki. Now the focus on that
software is more single project type. It would be good if there is
something like an umbrella to that, that has the features like
sourceforge or opencores, listing the projects, categorizing them, etc.
