It depends. You can get development accounts on different locations.
Including cvs and webpages and mailinglists.
And I think we should work towards making this a general attitue to
host free software projects at companies, university, agencies and
so on.

I am not sure if I acually regard a bigger formal step as better.
Convince somebody that your project is good and worth the effort.
I know completly useless projects on sourceforge.
