What would be a reasonable monthy fee? I ask because the bandwidth required for hosting both a checkin and an a anonymous repository may be quite a lot. A full checkout seems to be about 100 MB. The hosting plan I'm looking at now offers 50 GiB/month for $40. > The issue is providing timely service: what if the system runs out of > memory, gets cracked by a hacker, a new committer needs to be added, > the sendmail installation gets stuck because some commit messages cannot > be delivered to some recipient, and so on. > > Such a system needs permanent hand-holding.

If the PSF pays the hosting fees, I am willing manage a Subversion repository for Python. If we can get one ore two people to offer backup support when I'm not available then I think we could offer better service than SF. If we would want to host the tracker as well, I would need more help. I'm not experienced in supporting Roundup, etc. I suspect they may require more hand-holding. Neil
