see also http://sourceforge.net/u/sf-editor1/profile/ http://sourceforge.net/u/sf-editor1/profile/ this SF profile took over like a hundred high profile open source projects on SF (incl. Apache HTTP Server, Apache Hadoop, OpenOffice, Audacity, Google Closure Compiler, Epiphany, Evolution, Fedora, Fritzing, Gimp, HeidiSQL, Joomla, Lua for Windows, MySQL, PostgreSQL, VLC media player, VirtualBox, ... and many more)
Just yesterday VLC was on HN about moving away from SF "The story between VLC and Sourceforge": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9714250 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9714250
The mirrors (HEAnet & co) should refuse to add any new binaries from Sourceforge and we need a community driven website that coordinates open source download binary mirrors (based on what SF uses at the moment), and Archive.org/ArchiveTeam/etc should backup all SVN/CVS/etc repositories on Sorceforge, and Google then should remove them from their index or flag them as adware/scam.
