[kwlug-disc] Alternate 'repositories' [Was: Re: Going outside the repository]

[B.S.]

So what is the favoured 'repository' these days? git(hub)?

IIRC SourceForge was THE place for quite some time. Not so much since. 
IIRC there were web issues (long since gone), then dated functionality 
issues, then I forget what. Seems noise on it has been quiet for quite a 
long time. In the sense of acceptance that whatever SourceForge is, it 
is. (And is not.)

Sourceforge bringing with it issue lists, help forums, wiki, front page, 
and so on. (Not uniquely, IIRC.) Even if it may not be pretty by today's 
standards, even after the facelift. At least some similar functionality 
of which I think I've also seen on github, if also not pretty.

And what's the current term for such beasts, anyways - I'm guessing 
'repository' is not it / confusing.

Bugzilla? PPA's? Freshmeat?
