totally, building the developer community is important for getting
widespread tools support.

With tools support, it's easier for content authors to license their
work properly.

I agree that SF is slow, and CVS is a fairly poor choice for new
projects.

I recently moved some of my projects' repositories off sourceforge,
namely sweep.sf.net and remix.sf.net -- these are now (fairly) happily
living in svn.metadecks.org, with bug tracking etc. in
http://trac.metadecks.org/

Let's do stuff that rocks. I'm keen to help develop libcclicense, and
have contributed to the spec at
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Libcclicense

I'd be very happy to keep code for new projects like this at somewhere like
berlios, which has Subversion and somewhat speedier access. I'd be even
happier to help set up an svn and trac combo at svn.creativecommons.org
and trac.creativecommons.org :)

cheers,

Conrad.
