Only to chime in on this point.  The debian gforge packages are not hard 
to install.  The hardest part is answering the ldap questions.  The 
maintainers have been packaging sourceforge for a long time and it shows.

But it does take more support than a more simple solution.  And it 
scales for future needs.  I have installed and maintained gforge in the 
past.

I know Mike said he was using Gentoo but just wanted to clarify this point.


Does xoopsforge provide for vhosts per project?  Or shell access?  This 
may be something to consider.  I know it has a wiki, but that isn't the 
same.
