I am looking for a good open source announcement site. I used to use
freshmeat.net (which morphed into freecode.com), but freecode.com has become
'static' (no longer updated). What other sites would people suggest? I am
NOT looking for a site to host a project (I am self-hosting), just a site
where I can announce new versions and maintain a set of links to my site.

generating switch lists for freight car forwarding, creating time tables, etc.
