[FX.php List] Where should the source of FX.php live?

Hello all!

For a while now, there have been a couple improvements to FX.php that haven't been widely used, because they're sitting on the SourceForge site, and I don't link there from iViking.org.  Now this is bad, and I need to address this problem, and stop being a lazy slob...  Also, I want FX.php to have more of the life of an open source project -- we've come a long ways since the number of PHP developers in the FileMaker community could be counted on one's fingers.  That said, before I do point to the right place, I was wondering if you folks have a preference:

1) SourceForge has been around for a long time, and there's currently an FX.php distro sitting up there, and there are a couple others besides myself who have permission to make changes (Masayuki Nii and Gjermund Thorsen).  That said, it wouldn't surprise me if both of those fellows have an account at the other option I'm considering...

2) github is nice and simple.  I like the way that the projects are set up, and I like git for version control.  I think it would be easy to point folks there, and for them to find things.

So, all that said, here are my questions for the community:

1) Do you prefer one site over the other?

2) Are there those here who would like to have a more direct hand in the growth of FX.php?  (Whethere coding, documentation, examples, or whatever...)

3) Do you have any opinions about the direction and/or features of FX.php in the near future?

Thanks all!
