[PD] Migrate away from Sourceforge?

[day five]

Agree but what alternative do you suggest ?

Perhaps sooner or later monetization is inevitable for all open source
proyects. What hope is there for "free" software when global currency
models are rapidly deteriorating. There are always those who would wish to
capitalize on another's work much like an parasite.

Do you think that bitbucket or github are any better ? Who is to say that
some minutes down the road they will not do the same.
