Congratulations to all of you who stayed on Savannah despite the
social pressure to move to a non-free platform.

Savannah does a great job, and I love the retro look :) It might lack
from the bells and whistles of other platforms, but is perfectly
functional. 

A couple of proposals :

- Recently I suggest a "blog" section per project, or to update the news
  that allows pictures.

- We should be able to have multiple repositories for the project.
  Not just branches. In our case, we use mercurial.

- More flexibility in user rights. For example, some developers should
  be able to create tasks and/or bugs, but not necessarily be able to
  commit changes on the repositories.

Just some thoughts

Best
