Speaking for myself I'm not bothered by the ads
at SourceForge, but then again if ads bothered
me I wouldn't be using Yahoo mail. ;)

I see only one minor drawback to SourceForge and
that is the lack of a CVS client for Oberon.
(Or if there is one I don't know about it.)  I
had once thought about WebDAV for such a project,
but the eth WebDAV server is down more than
up.  (I think it's down now.  I quit trying
to use it.)  I've tried the WebDAV client with
a Zope webserver and I suppose a free Zope
server could work.  Anyway, the good think
about SourceForge is that it's pretty much
guaranteed to be up and running.  Also this
can improve Oberon's visability, especially
if you include keywords like "Webserver,
FTP server, DivX viewer, Java VM" ect.
