Hey, that seems fair. I'd still prefer binary distribution to be made through SourceForge.
I like to put source code hosts in two categories: programmer-friendly and user-friendly. With SourceForge, there's a great interface to download binary versions of software buy and a lot of people, without even knowing what
open source is
(the definition by OSI is not the easiest to comprehend, and I dislike the 'free software' movement). But say, GitHub and Bitbucket are focused on the source code and are terrible to use as websites, whereas some apps on SourceForge that have little in the way of the website have been quite successful with technical users.
Why are these important? Because developers want a nice frontend by which they can easily see license information and bits of your code, and end-users
should never be expected to compile from source. Linux users are used to it, but only due to the platform's unfortunate fragmentation (don't dare say anything, I'm a Linux user myself and I don't shy away from its issues).
That's why at least having a
web frontend, I believe, is very important. And please! Not an Apache Server FTP-like joke of 'frontend'!
Hosting code yourself? Fair enough. Be warned the bandwidth costs may increase, especially because developers regularly fork straight from the subversion repository.
Also, be warned that Trac is not the friendliest of solutions... from what I've seen, it just doesn't get people reporting bugs. It's not as bad as Bugzilla, which, it has been said was intended by Mozilla to be terribly hard to use so only developers would use it. But it's pretty high up there in terms of user unfriendliness. That's why LibreOffice built an end-user frontend to it, because it's just awful. But back on to alternative solutions (which, by the way, allow you to import tickets),
The Bug Genie (has been rewritten and is stable since v3, ignore the naysayers) and its nice looks make it the closest OS alternative to FogBugz. The sheer simplicity of
Roundup Tracker is also nice. Redmine is a bit too hardcore and I have to say nay to that, even though I'm a hardcore
Rubyist. As for the wiki, keep it, though I think it needs to somehow be more... visible. Depends on the community of course and I don't know enough about the RE command line or mapping or CubeScript to contribute. I'm probably one of those rare cases that never got into Sauerbraten and in effect came straight to RE - though I first tried Cube 2 long before RE (2008 or so). Still haven't gotten into it. :P
So, enough evangelising (and unnecessary rambling). You seem pretty dead-set on it... only further advice is, please don't migrate from this forum. I think many other people (say, from SuperTuxKart which is probably more popular than RE) have found RE through this forum and it's worth keeping it here.
TL;DR: Trac is lame, self-hosting is difficult (not to mention installing and maintaining all these things is annoying, massive hassle when a dependency decides to update) and finally, stay in this forum please
You just wasted 3 seconds of your life reading this.
