Probably not. UI's are a personal thing and if you've looked at the others and still the UI provided by FusionForge, that's unlikely to change. But do acknowledge that makes you unusual. Github has all but annihilated SourceForge in the hosting market place, and the stand out change is it's UI. That is in spite of SourceForge's impressive mirror network and SourceForge being VCS agnostic. So it's not surprising some DD's want to move away from the FusionForge UI. I'm on SourceForge now. [0] I'd prefer to be on Debian's infrastructure of course, but Alioth is so poorly maintained it was unusable for me [1]. Of the suggestions so far only Kallithea is VCS agnostic, but Kallithea only supports source code hosting - no Ticketing (eg bug tracking), no web project web page, no release hosting (binaries). Maybe that's an advantage for Debian projects because it forces you to use Debian's existing infrastructure for everything else, but for me it makes it a no-go. Gogs looks to be similar, but is unstable. Gitlab is git only and doesn't support releases. SourceForge's Apollo is an open source project supporting all those features plus a heap more, but the UI is not "code centric" like the others - it feels more like FusionForge. That said, unlike FusionForge modern work flows (forking, pull requests and the like) - it's just they aren't a prominent in the UI. [0] http://sourceforge.net/u/rstuart/ [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/05/msg00463.html That triggered this response, but it read like someone in denial rather than acknowledging the problem: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/06/msg00435.html Acknowledging the problem is always the first step in fixing it, and I think it's significant the number of open bugs has gone up by 20% since then.
