Extremely restrictive and poorly administered hosting platform.

Hosting free software on GNU Savannah is not mandatory and, in addition, the graphical interface is very unintuitive for end users. Once you send a file you may no longer be able to remove it without the permission of the administrators and the programs that are not explicitly approved by the administrators remain on a separate domain, marked as "Non-GNU".

Avoid this service as if it were the plague, there are considerably better alternatives.
