That's what I meant -- I was recommending other people to sign up for |
16 |
that as well |

Hosting for source code, sure, anywhere. But I don't expect people to |
31 |
setup their own Trac ;) |

That was what drove me to getting this setup -- say I want to find |
38 |
2007's SoC projects; I google for "gentoo 2007 soc projects", I get |
39 |
several blogs (about them, not of them), and a link to |
40 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/userrel/soc/archives/2007.xml which |
41 |
doesn't link to any code. |
42 |
|
43 |
At this point, I've effectively hit a dead end in my search. |
44 |
|
45 |
I think there should be one single place where you can be *guaranteed* |
46 |
to *either* find all the projects, *or* find links to where they are |
47 |
actually hosted. What I suggest is the following: |
48 |
|
49 |
1. People be given the option to use soc.ge.o(redmine) for their work |
50 |
2. Redmine doesn't provide inbuilt SCM, so they can host their source |
51 |
code anywhere (soc.ge.o if they want) |
52 |
3. If they don't want to use soc.ge.o/Redmine at all, they can just |
53 |
create a dummy project on soc.ge.o which has a link in the project |
54 |
summary to the place where the actual development is taking place. |
55 |
|
56 |
This will: |
57 |
a) Give people the freedom to host the work wherever they want |
58 |
b) Provide a place where either the projects, or pointers to them can |
59 |
be found with ease |
60 |
c) The advantage of using Redmine over gentoo.org/*/soc/ is that it |
61 |
can "plug into" a remote repository to show the code, generate |
62 |
statistics and such |

Don't use it, just list your project there :) |
