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:

I have no problem with the change Sourceforge changed owners since then and they didn't like those things either. From the same Wikipedia-article about Sourceforge and DevShare:
