is it a good idea to have HaskellForge?
Ruby, Lua and some other languages have already adopted GForge, and I must say, those sites look *impressive*!!!
Have you looked at trac? I'm using it for about a dozen projects over on http://software.complete.org/. For instance, http://software.complete.org/missingh I looked at Savane and GForge, and both looks like they were overkill for what I wanted. They are both very invasive on the host system, requiring user accounts to be setup, hosts entries added, DNS control, all sorts of Apache tweaks, etc. You really need a dedicated OS install for them. And neither really seemed to be all that featureful, either. Wikis weren't a standard part of either, and forums were a deprecated part of one. The one thing they have over GForge is mailing list integration, but I just point people to haskell-cafe anyway. Plus: only trac has integration with darcs. It took some time to get trac setup and working the way I want to, with the right plugins, but once done, it's been happy. -- John
