Ok, I misunderstood you. Then we're in accord.
My basic thinking is that rather than trying to fix pgFoundry or replace
it with some single piece of software which addresses the 7 things
people use pgfoundry for, we should instead look at those 7 services as
*separate* web services for postgresql.org, and address them with
separate, *simple* pieces of software. Therefore:
Source Code management:
git.postgresql.org
Launchpad, code.google.com, SF.net, etc.
Listing and Searching of PG-related Software:
Software Catalog
search.pgan.org (for extensions)
Distribution and Installation of PG-related Software:
StackBuilder
pgan.org (for extensions)
News Feed:
projects-planet.postgresql.org, or similar
Web Pages:
expansion of Software Catalog, or a wiki
Unsupported Mailing Lists
mailman server
File Sharing, with permissions:
some other tool, or SocialText account.
As you can see, none of the above requires us to operate a collab
environment. In fact, given our experience, I'm wondering if the whole
concept of a collab environment is flawed.
