The whole interest of gitorious is precisely that (easily forking a
repository for pushing patches afterwise). If we cut this off, we
better not use this solution at all.

</I>
About gitorious, I don't know if we can interface with its own ACLs,
but there's a web-based UI for managing that there, per repository.
Better use it.

&gt;<i> &#160;- gitorious or redmine include wikis, forums, bug tracker. Maybe we

</I>
Yep. Or consider that is a separate forge.

&gt;<i> &#160;- if we only use this tool to create new repositories and have a web
</I>&gt;<i> &#160; interface to show commits but use none of the advanced features of
</I>&gt;<i> &#160; gitorious/redmine, maybe a few scripts in puppet and gitweb is more
</I>&gt;<i> &#160; simple than customising gitorious/redmine to do exactly what we want.
</I>
The point is: do we use a tool that already builds a multi-projects
forge, or do we build our own?

For the distribution and Mageia project itself, everything revolves
around a few monolithic bits at this time: Bugzilla, SVN, buildsystem.

If we want to give separate &quot;upstream&quot; identities to software in /soft
(or to some tools still buried down here and there), each one should
have its own:
 - fully customizable web page (with an obvious path to it) - with a
default template provided for those who don't need/want to customize
 - documentation/wiki
 - bug/feature tracker
 - code repository + web output of it
 - perhaps a mini blog, but a forum seems less likely to happen there

If we want to give some flexibility into the project to incumbate
small projects to embbed into or derive from Mageia, creating such a
new &quot;upstream&quot; project should be, at least for some people, as easy as
using a single web form - so yes, it would be somehow like what
tuxfamily, savannah, indefero, google code, github, etc. - shall we
use these instead then? I believe we are not all in sync about this.

So the question is: do we build this with something existing that
duplicates somehow what we have already, and integrate it as we can?
or do we build this on top of what we already have?

&gt;<i> So someone needs to see exactly what is needed, with people that will use
</I>&gt;<i> the repositories, and look at all available tools to be able to decide
</I>&gt;<i> what we should use.
</I>
We've got to decide at some points too. Or we will still be at this
point in 6 months.
