History
Alioth had been announced in March 2003. Originally Alioth was to be hosted on the
SourceForge code base; the Free Software version of
GForge was chosen later as it avoided the need to duplicate effort spent on rebranding SourceForge.
Since 2009, Alioth has been running a GForge descendant called
FusionForge.
In 2018, Alioth has been replaced by a
GitLab based solution hosted on ''salsa.debian.org''. Alioth has been finally switched off in June 2018.
Alioth administrators have included Raphaël Hertzog and Roland Mas.
