Well, I understand your point of view. I think Lordheavy choose savannah
for political reasons (correct me if I'm wrong).
In fact from the time when birdy put pengaol on sf, sf has changed:
 * Sourceforge is *NOT* GPL anymore
 * they use more and more proprietary softwares (recently they use IBM 
 db2!)

That's why savannah had been created from the source of sourceforge when
they were under GPL.

Don't you feel confortable with savannah?
I don't know what feature we really *need* isn't present on savannah.

humm... again I don't know why using html mail. Text is really
sufficient for all normal communication (except perhaps for spam :) ).

Thanks for you support Ethan.
