Probably some links were never correct...

Thanks for doing the job.

There already is <https://github.com/FDOS>.

>     * It is open source.
>     * You “can” run your own instance on your own hardware.
>     * Projects can be grouped into Sub-projects without any fuss.
>     * Unlimited public and private repositories for free.
>     * Detailed and flexible user management for free.
>     * Easy export of projects or entire groups of projects.

If we need this?

Cheers,
Robert
