<EM>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Fri, 13 Oct 2000 16:28:00 +0800, Petter Reinholdtsen &lt;<A HREF="mailto:pere@hungry.com?Subject=Re:%20[snapscan]%20Sourceforge%20request%20submitted&In-Reply-To=&lt;200010142320.QAA24726@panda.mostang.com&gt;">pere@hungry.com</A>&gt; said:
</EM><BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;Petter&gt; Parhaps we should do the same for the SANE project itself?
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Petter&gt; It would give us a working bug tracking and a patch manager
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Petter&gt; system. I do not think we want to use some of the other
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Petter&gt; features. (Parhaps the CVS repository, but the Hungry
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Petter&gt; Programmers one works just fine. :-)
<BR>
<P>In my opinon, it's a mistake to collect all open source projects in a
<BR>
single place. A uniform directory a la Freshmeat is a great idea, but
<BR>
sourceforge worries me because it represents a single point of
<BR>
failure. &quot;Failure&quot; here could mean anything from denial of service
<BR>
attacks, polluting source code with nasty viruses, bankruptcy of the
<BR>
sponsor, or hostile takeover of the sponsor by another company. Yeah,
<BR>
all of this is possible with pretty much any other site as well, but
<BR>
the more projects are hosted in a single place, the more worthwhile a
<BR>
target it becomes.
<BR>
<P>Diversity is good and perhaps best way to make a complex ecological
<BR>
system robust.
