We've been using Savannah, the GNU project's sourceforge like thing.   
It's kind of clunky, as it only provides CVS.
code.google.com would be an obvious choice.   I've got a SVN server at 
snoutfarm.com too.

As remarked by Steve, I think just using some part of swarm.org makes 
sense for the Wiki.  Unless there are particular features that are 
absent that you'd like to see.  I can set up Bugzilla or Trac or 
whatever at snoutfarm.com.   Actually we never even used bug tracking 
software even for Swarm itself.   The mailing list archives of 
address@hidden are probably about  the closest thing to issue tracking.

Ok.  Maybe the SDG should just once and for all move to mercurial or 
git?    Thoughts anyone?
I mostly have been using SVN, but I'm almost always online.

I think it was a default of Savannah.  I've changed it.   It's now a 
public list with a public archive.

Ok, whenever works for you..  (Don't think I've used IRC in 10 years!)
