Yes, SF has a lot of linux-heads since that is who it is directed towards, but with 10's of 1000's of project currently list, many of which are not even actively worked upon, I doubt our project will attract the attention of those not interested in clustering FreeBSD machines (overwhelming majority, I would say) until a superior and legendary clustering technology emerges from the project. On the otherhand, a negative I see towards SF is that the project leaders, although having a good amount of control, do not have ultimate control of the servers themselves. In my eyes, this would be a reason not to use SF. The benefit, though, is that its got most things you would need (and yes, fluff you don't). Whatever is decided, I think all would agree that effort and focus should be placed on the project's goals and objectives, not the headaches associated with setting up your own cvs, lists, etc. If need be though, I can provide a mirror site or cvs, too. BTW, what is the time line as far as setting atleast something up?
