In addition to LiCK on github, I also run FOSS projects in subversion
on Sourceforge (http://www.dishevelled.org) and in subversion on
Google Code (http://code.google.com/p/piccolo2d).

I have some reservations about using git:  I don't really understand
what to tell people what to do when they want to contribute.  It also
seems odd on github that the main LiCK repo has a URL with my username
in it.

Sourceforge's static web content hosting is good.  The project web
interface, the issue tracker and the download system kinda blow.

Google Code's issue tracker and its integration with subversion is
really nice.  Web content hosting and wiki is less well done.
