</div></div>Yes, <a href="http://fusionforge.org" target="_blank">fusionforge.org</a> itself is an odd beast. It is an instance of the<br>
FusionForge platform, but it hosts only the FusionForge project.<br>
<a href="http://forge.ocamlcore.org/" target="_blank">http://forge.ocamlcore.org/</a> is perhaps a better example of the<br>
platform in action.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the pointer. That site does look quite nice and makes more sense to me. I guess I had not been thinking of this to host many small projects, but rather mlton, and perhaps a handful of other compiler projects if they were interested. However, something like this to host all sorts of SML related projects could be interesting also (as the referenced site is doing for OCaml). </div>

The hope is that the various moving parts would be sufficiently<br>
integrated with the forge platform that the administration burden is<br>
lessened. For instance, on Ubuntu 10.04 (and presumably on most<br>
distributions), there is a "gforge" metapackage that pulls in all the<br>
necessary packages (mailman, exim4, postgresql, ...).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If it really is as simple as doing "sudo apt-get install gforge" and then administering through the web interface, that is really amazing and does make a strong case for this approach. </div>
