For the migration yes. I haven't touched the current machine as it is
production.

I did setup and install SVN but I did not getting it working "with"
gforge and as I stated in an email I would leave
that to someone more knowledgeable about gforge itself.

Well first a good portion of this isn't "spare time". It is that I have
resources in the management and infrastructure area regardless of
myself. It is the same reason we
are about to host the search.

There is no reason except technical bias to keep it on FreeBSD and a lot
of reasons (including a larger support pool) to put it on Linux.

We are also talking about physical access.

We aren't really talking about JoshB's efforts as much as trying to get
PgFoundry moved in general.
