At least a few others have the same problem.

Their administrative tools (or lack thereof) would cause an increase in 
workload.  While it may look smooth from the outside, from the inside using 
SourceForge isn't always fun or easy.  They have their ups and downs.

A more likely alternative is hosting at a University site where we would 
have full access and control over our own resources.  That becomes 
available to us in the late spring or early summer, and we will look at it 
harder then.

Yeah, Yahoo has managed to burn up any residual goodwill leftover from 
Egroups, IMO.
