The reason I chose Sourceforge for all of my projects in the distant past was because of their dedication to Open Source and Free software, not any particular technical merits (though, technically, it was reasonably functional for the time, but a decade of no significant improvement is hard to miss).<p>Github is a great product, but they are not as open as SourceForge once was (the source code to run your own SourceForge was available).<p>Also, SF still has several tens of thousands of projects, including a few very large ones. Merely stopping the bleeding would be sufficient to remain a large OSS project hosting site.
