I hope not :)

I used to have to hack on a version of SourceForge about a year ago for an 
employer, and it's appalling code. I personally believe that php is 
incredibly difficult to program well, but I've seen much better code than 
that of SF (I hope mine is better, anyway :).

It mentions that php will be used, perhaps with phpGroupWare? 

It's worrying that company like VA {whatever} is going to base their whole 
business on SourceForge: I don't really see that it's going to be able to 
compete with the likes of StarTeam, etc., and it's certainly not the finest 
codebase in the world on which to expand.

Cheers,
