R devel - Apr 2007 - R-Forge?

Hello!

I have recently found RForge.net (http://www.rforge.net/) by Simon
Urbanek and found out today that the site is accepting subscriptions.
Great! However, browsing a bit on the site I found a link to another
forge: R-Forge (http://r-forge.r-project.org/).

Is/will the last one be the "offcial" forge for R packages, given that
it has domain r-project.org?

Regards, Gregor

Yes, we're currently still testing the functionality and improving the 
documentation, but an article for R News that announces the functionality 
is under preparation. There is already a user's manual available on the 
main page which explains how you can register and set up your project etc. 
Just as Simon's site this already offers an SVN and nightly builds in a 
CRAN-style repository, and additionally there is the whole GForge system 
with other features such as project forums, mailing lists etc.

Best,

  Perhaps one is the real forge and the other is a forgery? Or a forge-R-y?

  I'll get my coat...
