Well, there will be time for refactoring. Win/Mac people will help you, =

I hope. It's the beauty of open source, isnt' it?

Personally I have no experience with Savannah, but the de-facto standard =

is SF. SF can be a bit clumsy sometimes to use, but having your app on =

SF guarantees a bit of visibility and a well maintained, solid platform. =

worked in it.
