What would people recommend as a public repository for long term free hosting some small open source projects?
I would prefer:
* independent from any proprietary technical eco-system: not associated with any major vendor
* free cost
* .org or .net rather than .com
* long term viability (after unhappy experiences with Sourceforge and Google Code in the long run)
* OK with Artistic License
I know some people people recommend GitLab or Assembla, though they are .com (which is not necessarily a showstopper, but...) I liked the idea of Savannah, but I can imagine situations where it might be constricting (i.e. if a proof-of-concept/prototype utility uses some proprietary library.) I was in discussion with Apache to make Schematron an Apache project at one stage, and had the necessary sponsor, but Apache seemed to be aimed at more elaborate projects.
