European public adminstrations have to deploy a long term sustainability plan when it comes to hosting projects. Today moving projects from a forge to another is not trivial, since data federation is still to come (and maybe Europe might well help towards this goal). <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/en/document/6728/5644" rel="nofollow">OSOR EC-funded project is spending big money</a>, and I'd like to see most of these resources spent to better disseminate projects information.
