If interested we may be able to get you guys on codehaus.  See
http://codehaus.org/Project+Selection and http://codehaus.org/Manifesto
 We have a little geo corner - currently all Java, but I don't think
there is any commitment to java.  And our philosophies are a bit
different than the general codehaus ones, but they let us use the
pieces we want.  Though thinking on it, codehaus does offer svn
capabilities, but we actually don't use them.  Getting everyone signed
up for codehaus accounts was a bitch, as they do a lot of security, so
we just make use of a refractions svn repository.  But codehaus does
offer two very nice things - JIRA (a great issue tracker) and
Confluence (a very nice wiki).    Their support is generally pretty
good, since they run a number of projects, and you can jump on irc and
talk to them directly when something goes wrong.  We still use
sourceforge for mailing lists and downloads, as they do those quite
well.  But you should definitely consider moving parts of the project
to different locations.

best regards,

Chris
