I must be dense, but how does choosing the feature-rich Sourceforge over the
relatively feature-impoverished www.gnu.org (unless you're talking about
some other gnu site) "look like Guile endorses the Open Source Movement
against the Free Software Movement?"  To pretty much any casual observer and,
I suspect, most non-casual observers, it would just look like the obviously
correct choice.

Perhaps I misunderstand something, but does this mean it would be better,
for hair-splitting political reasons, to recreate some/all of the work done by the people at
Sourceforge and graciously donated to the software community?

BTW:  I've no connection to Sourceforge (AFAIK) except as a user/contributor of some
of the software hosted there.

Realizing this topic is volatile, I'll apologize in advance
for bringing it up.
