If we all agree we should consider moving towards GIT completely if most of the devs use it anyways. I recall we were discussing this already, just not why we didn't do it (was it the lack of support from BerliOS?!).
I wonder if some of you already did a migration from SVN to GIT. I mean in terms of keep existing branches and (of course) the whole history...?!
I recall the time when I personally migrated from CVS to SVN. It wasn't easy, but doable if you had the right tools at hand.

If there is a voting now, I'd vote for switching to git as it makes open source development a lot easier. (I've only used git-svn, but I'm sure it does).
Switching to git will make it easier to test things and to follow other developers, as everybody can publish their work-in-progress in separate branches.
I'm not sure for the hosting, but github sounds like something useful. There is UI to fork projects, request pulls, social stuff...

I think we all now the advantages we could take from GIT. However, I would rather not use a third platform if it isn't really necessary. We don't now how well it will be accessible world-wide and would need to connect this repo to our project pages "somehow".
If BerliOS or SourceForge offer similar functionality (or less, if that is still enough) I clearly vote for those platforms. Also - still most important to me:

I cloned the whole svn repo with git-svn.
It holds the whole history since commit 1 to HEAD.
It still uses git-svn, so it is not a real git repo, but there exist scripts and many, many guides that help to really switch to git.
I will try it this weekend.
By the way, if I understand it correctly, berlios also offers git since some time:

I think, I've cloned only trunk, but I have the whole history. It took 30-60 minutes.

Yes, I know - it just does not have such a "nice" interface like GitHub or alike. But I don't know if we would miss too much.
Concerning the GIT conversion: I would be mostly interested if your branch switching is reflected properly. For example: The last switch between trunk and the CC branch is important as only in the (backed-up) trunk branch the history is until "day 1".
An if conversion is OK - how would we proceed? Convert locally and upload the a whole converted repo via SSH to BerliOS, or does BerliOS / SourceForge itself offer a migration service? Maybe it wise to setup a dummy project and try before...
