Would you like a Trac instance for your project?: no

Do you need a mailing list? If so, comma-separate a list of what you'd like them to be called. Otherwise, put "no":
no


Hum, I am a bit confused here... if you don't want a git repo, trac instance or mailing list, what do you want us to setup? ;)

All that really leaves is a fas group I guess...

I am primarily interested in having a safe place where I can upload
tarballs for the target-isns project. The target-isns project is
currently hosted on GitHub because it is convenient for collaboration
and source code. But it is not really good at making releases.

With GitHub, a release tarball is either automatically generated or
uploaded by the maintainer. The problem with an "automatically
generated" tarball is that its hash is not stable because the content
of the archive may change (due to file ordering). The problem with an
"uploaded" tarball on GitHub is that there is no easy way to put the
hash file close to the tarball.

That's why I am really interested in having a place on Fedora Hosted
to host target-isns release tarballs. For convenience, I will continue
to use GitHub for development though.

Moreover, GitHub is nice but it is not free software whereas the Fedora
Project is. I don't want to put all eggs in one basket and I would like
a free software basket / infrastructure :-)

Ah, makes perfect sense then. ;)

ok. I made you a empty git repo in case you want to use it, and the fas group should be setup as well. :)

Please let us know if you need anything further.
