Do you have another proposal?   Like I said, I'll be putting forward the case 
for GForge; if there's another program you like, feel free to 
counter-propose.

But I'm not gonna spend a bunch o' time reseaching other platforms when I 
believe that GForge suits our needs.

As if I could prevent discussion.   My point is that this has been discussed, 
off and on, on this list and elsewhere repeatedly without any action being 
taken.   I'm going to throw up a specific proposal for action, and if people 
shoot it down, then so be it.   But just to discuss the topic in general -- 
again -- is a recipe for paralysis.
