Yeah.  Putting the LDM under GForge was a great idea at the time.  
Unfortunately, 
PHP (which runs GForge) has security problems and the GForge installation
itself takes a bit too much time and effort to maintain -- time that could 
better
be spent on improving the LDM and creating the next generation.

The UPC webmaster, Jennifer Oxelson,  is looking into a successor for GForge
and I'm trying to convince UCAR, in general, that some sort of collaborative
software development system for the entire organization would be a good idea.

Everything's a compromise (sigh).

In the meantme, use the UPC webpages.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
