We will happily host DGD projects at XtraMUD (in fact, the DGD projects
get approved first) - Only restriction is the IP binding issue (which is
why I released my Binding Patch) - So if you need a live server for
testing/development, drop me a mail.

>  What Sourceforge does provide is version control, bug
> tracking, forums, mailing lists and a documentation
> manager for tracking documentation for your project.
> On top of that they provide great webhosting -- a 50MB
> soft limit, or more if your project needs more.  This
> isn't the regular (bad) free webhosting you can get
> anywhere -- you can also use php & MySQL, if you feel
> inclined.
>
> They also provide visibility for your project,
> especially if your project stays active, and you can
> post requests for developers -- although how many
> people actually respond is not entirely clear...
>
> The only down side is you have to release your code
> under some kind of OpenSource license or release it as
> public domain.  You're also required to make your
> project available for free (free beer and free
> speech).
