In my opinion squeaksource.com has history and we are asking people to move
off of squeaksource if we don't open it back up.  Not sure if that was the
intention but that is the result.  If there is a preferred place to host new
projects we should all just move to that.  If we all move to that then the
name squeaksource.com should go with it to make it easier for everyone.

If we open squeaksource back up and it's unreliable or takes too much time
from the community to support, then we are asking people to move.

Leaving zombie squeaksource.com as it is, is just asking for trouble.  Bit
rot, moved projects, split projects will eventually make everything on
squeaksource obsolete anyway.

If we don't have resources we should consider just opening it back up, or
pick a new platform and forward the name squeaksource.com to that.  If we
have resources maybe we should consider adopting one of the newer platforms.


All the best,

Ron Teitelbaum
