Thanks for your interest and positive comments - always appreciated. Friends call me JW or use my username, JWPlatt - whichever you prefer.
You - anyone really - are welcome to open a project and use our repository, but also keep in mind that no matter where you host your repository, we can still point our tools to it for web browsing, management, and issue tracking on the OpenUru.org domain. When we get Fisheye/Crucible fully integrated into JIRA soon, for example, you'll be able to link changes to bugs. We also have Continuous Integration (CI) for automated compiles of new builds whenever patches are committed.
We recently restructured the forums so they aren't so deep and hidden in subforums, making the main index page longer. There were more requests to flatten the structure than bury things in subforums - as much as possible. We could consolidate/merge forums, but the scope of OpenUru.org's vision is to allow for a much larger user base. So while these initial phases may look like too much, we're trying to build for the eventuality of world-wide open source Plasma/Uru and other projects based upon it. Also, each project may have its own forum, so the list will just get longer and I expect we'll have to categorize as more projects sign up and the main index gets too ridiculous. For now, we'd like to reduce clicks and increase visibility as much as possible.
We've also recently added a site navigation menu to make finding things on the domain easier for everyone. We implemented it for the main site pages and wrapped the forums into it so far. It will be integrated as quickly as possible with our other resources. We have just started discussions to unify authentication across some or all of our resources.
