[Repo-criteria-discuss] Sourceforge

[John Sullivan]

This article in Ars mentions the criteria:
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/06/under-new-management-sourceforge-moves-to-put-badness-in-past/

(Although weirdly doesn't link to the criteria?)

I think the article shows what probably will be a common
misunderstanding of the criteria, and we may want to add more
explanation to the top of the page. I don't think:

  * Important site functionality doesn't work without JavaScript or with 
LibreJS enabled.
  * It rejects users from certain countries.

are the *only* things Sourceforge fails. But that's how the author
interpreted it.

But, very good to see the criteria being referenced in stories like
this.
