I'm looking for hosting for an open-source project nearing its first release, and I don't want it on my personal pages in case it gets slashdotted. There seem to be a few free sites out there, but obviously Sourceforge is the 800lb gorilla. Should I just stick it on Sourceforge by default, or are there better options? All I'm looking for is file hosting, maybe a mailing list, and some web pages for Doxygen documentation. (Not shared SVN, for now; I'm going to start with the Linux-y "email me patches" version control and see how it goes from there.)

Licence will be GPL for the Qt GUI binaries, LGPL for the daemon binaries, public-domain for the source itself (so that bits of it can be taken by companies and re-used in proprietary products as long as its LGPL/GPL dependencies aren't also needed). This rules out Google Code (who don't deal with multi-licensed) and probably also Savannah (who'd also insist I re-spelled Linux with a "GNU/" everywhere).

Sourceforge has been completely hassle-free for my empeg-hijack and hdparm projects.

I was concerned for a while with empeg-hijack, since I basically just use Sourceforge as a web host and ignore all of their file management stuff for it, but so far, so good..

With hijack, I do use the file release management stuff, and end-users use the bug/patch reporting tools. And it's all just fine.

Cheers

Thanks Mark, that's a good-enough recommendation for me. I went with Sourceforge.

Duh.. just noticed my typo now weeks later -- that should have said:

With hdparm, I do use the file release management stuff ...
