ok, the backup here is n.p., Nova has ordered a 2nd hdd, and up to 2 GB of important data can be shadowed at my "spare" disk, which is raid1+5.

the uplink on this server is much better than a shared account at SF.net, no doubt about that.

from other developers i heard they where leaving SF.net to go to berlios.de, which runs the same software as SF, but with less restrictions, more speed and some advanced features, so sf.net is IMHO no option, it's either to go with this server or berlios.de.

the bugtracking is no question of software but of work, it soley depends on the will of the developers to spend time on bugzilla. there are other systems (e.g. mantis or QA director) but they do not lower the amount of time needed much.(atleast in my last company bugtracking broke down as the bug-hunter left the company)

so for bug tracking we should think about alternative organisation, if, and only if, all agree, some sort of open system like a wiki might be good. e.g. bugs _must_ be filed with a testcase so that even a non insider can find the bug, by using the code and replaying the testcase. this way a speedy development could be encouraged. i have that for some gpl vdr-plugin i maintain, we have had 3 main developer changes this year, always speeding up the development, i.e. i have to make a pre release every week)

just my 2cents
