It's easy to obtain from Perforce, and we'll get as many users we need. Your point about us having to get hosting outside of SourceForge whichever revision control system we choose to use hold true, and is indeed something very important. It's good that you structured the conversation. :) If I remember correctly, however, isn't it the case that haiku-os.org (and beunited.org/osbos.net) already runs on a separate system, in which case we probably could run our future revision control system there? -- Mikael Jansson http://mikael.jansson.be
