You can count on me for testing :) I’m very exciting by this project :) I think it could a very very useful tool for Debian development, especially the plugins stuff.

IMHO Jonny has done a great work on debexpo in the past weeks and I'd honestly expect a more constructive criticism than repository trolling. git.debian.org is one location where you can store your files. We already have a Git on the development server where the Trac is located. So you can browse the repository, too. And the source is fully available. I'm no big fan of alioth. The web interface is pretty chaotic and non-intuitive. For the features we needed just to organize the work on the project I found that a mailing list (or two), a Trac and a simple repository is all that we need. Sorry, but I can't stand people who look at a space ship that is supposed to save mankind and all they do it complain that it's painted in the wrong colors. @foo (whoever you are)

We (my mentor and I) did an assessment of the features it provides, and compared them to what my mentor wanted to use (Trac), and then we picked the best option. I did actually promote the usage of alioth for the project, but I do have to concur with my mentor in that gforge really is rather rubbish. Perhaps I'll mirror the repository on git.debian.org too.
