I have a slight problem with sourceforge: it doesn't do backups at all!
We'd have to backup our data ourselves regularly. And backups for
sourceforge are really necessary from what I've heard :(
And since Lübbe only has a dialup connection, that would leave the whole
backup stuff to me...

We shouldn't update the docs on the website in between releases. We have
to keep the docs up to date with HEAD, but most people only use official
releases - having the docs mention stuff which isn't released is very bad.

The only thing that might be better is the search function. But let's be
honest here: most people don't use that anyway but just use it to ask
support questions.

And let's not forget the mailing list stuff. Sure, we could switch that
to sourceforge or berlios too, but what would then happen to the commit
mails, issuetracker, ...?

Seems that just isn't the 'perfect' solution. So I'd vote for keeping
everything as it is.
