Right , We have three places: Oslo, savannah and sourceforge.
Right now, oslo only has the website.
And sourceforge has nothing.

Oslo:
 * Web Server                     
 - Web site

Savannah 
 - Web site
 * Mailing Lists

New services we are thinking about 
 - Bug tracking
 - Web based SVN viewer
 * SVN Repository
 * Backups
 * shell access for commiters
 * compile engine
 * regression testing platform
