Re: Moving away from SourceForge

Although I completely think moving away from SourceForge is a good idea for any project, it's worth noting that SourceForge was acquired in 2012 (after the adware thing) so their current leadership probably isn't to blame.

If you have positive or negative comments about moving to osdn.net, let's discuss that.

I think this move is the right choice even without the outage. SourceForge's current owners/leadership has been engaged in behaviors that are antithetical to the original mission of the service:

Can you actually run a custom website on osdn.net? Both the Project Web Servers (e.g., http://peazip.osdn.jp/) and the Project Top Page/Dashboard (e.g., https://osdn.net/projects/peazip/) make it look like you can't.

Vim.org is a PHP-based website, but is it actually using any server-side code? If it's static HTML, then GitHub Pages is quite satisfactory.
