If this upgrade happens, and I can use SVN with pgFoundry, that's
exactly where I'll stay. That would make me happy.

Whether or not it was a good idea to get into the hosting business,
since we do, as a community, have a hosting platform, it behooves us
to try to keep it up-to-date. I'd be willing to give a bit of time for
this.

But I do agree with Robert that we *should* get into the indexing
business. This is CPAN's secret: It doesn't host anything, but
provides a distributed index of Perl modules. What would be useful is
to make it easy for people to add their stuff to the index; and if
that could be automated with pgFoundry, so much the better for those
who host there.

My $0.02. Thanks for the discussion, folks.

Best,

David
