The thing is, Haskell people tend to want to use Darcs for their Haskell stuff, and I don't think there are sites like sourceforge supporting it yet...
I tried to address this in my original email. There are several hosting sites like Sourceforge around. Although it is unlikely that SF.NET can be pursuaded to integrate Darcs (Subversion support has been "investigated" for two years, I think), I bet an alternative site could be pursuaded to install Darcs support. If so, this would benefit all projects, not just Haskell-related ones.
That could be nice, if especially if they could set it up so that it was easy to set up submit-by-mail something like the Darcs repo has, with a list of GPG keys to auto-apply patches from.
Also, if a new site had to be created specifically to provide Darcs hosting, then why limit it to Haskell projects?
I was actually thinking this too. It really would be annoying to have Darcs hosting only for Haskell projects. So I guess I really would prefer that it be one of the existing SF alternatives. -- Sam
