is that it is hosted on Alioth, Debian's gforge.

But after I thought a while about it, I came to the conclusion that it was the only place it could be hosted.

Alioth is for experimental development and research. Some projects there are to feed the SID, some are to change the way things in Debian are done, some are just plain ole "its better here because elsewhere it wouldn't get a fair bite".

But, the shootout is definitely an interesting project. I am surprisingly very interested in it.
