        To me, some of the big advantages of Sourceforge are that:
1.      Any new people will quite possibly already have accounts there
2.      The interface is likely to be familiar

	Coming from that, I'd like to see us use Sourceforge where 
possible.  Sourceforge will cope immediately with most of what we want:
-       Mailing lists
-       Website
-       Version control
-       Bug tracking

        The only thing we might need to do something about is the wiki.

	Having said all that, I'm also seeing strong opinions for 
Subversion and against CVS.  I most likely wouldn't be a cfengine 
developer, but I submitted a patch once.
	My point is, I already know how to use CVS.  But if I had a patch 
I wanted submitted, I'd ask the mailing list (unless it was on the 
FAQ/Wiki/whatever) how to do a Subversion submission.

	I guess what I'm saying is that we should carefully consider 
before doing anything that a "normal" Sourceforge site doesn't.
