Hello all,

I've been working for the past few months on a group collaboration and
problem solving application and am almost ready to put up a beta
version on GAE for folks to experiment with.   Many thanks to Massimo
and all of you regulars here for helping me up the learning curve!

The app is called PeerTool and is a complete re-write in Python and
web2py of a commercial  app I developed in PHP about 6 years ago.  My
intent is to provide a free public access site that any group may use
and also to release the code open source.

I'll post an announcement here when the time comes, hopefully in the
next week or two.  In the meantime, I'd be grateful for advice or
suggestions in two areas:

1.  Choosing the most appropriate license.   My primary goal is to
make the product as widely useful and available as possible.  I
believe it could be of benefit to almost any team, task force, board,
or committee that wants to use brainstorming and collaborative
evaluation of ideas (with real-time interaction!).

2. Most appropriate hosting for the project source code.  I've never
started a public project before and would like to know what
experiences others have had with Google Code,  SourceForge, etc, --
especially concerning web2py apps.  I'm leaning toward Google Code at
present.  My code is already under Mercurial so it seems like that
would be  a good fit.

Thanks in advance,
Mike
