Ok. So help the Savannah people implement that :).

Ok, so use the SourceForge software for your site. My basic point is
"don't re-invent the wheel".

Well, I'm mostly going on some discussions that took place here over a
year ago. It seems SourceForge took some of their code out of the Open
Source license, and some developers got upset, and left to form
Savannah.

To be precise, I suspect Savannah is more Free Software friendly, not
just Open Source friendly. But this is drifting way off topic for
c.l.a.
