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. Alioth began running a GForge descendant called FusionForge in 2009. In 2018, Alioth was replaced by a GitLab based solution hosted on salsa.debian.org; Alioth was switched off in June 2018. Alioth administrators have included Raphaël Hertzog and Roland Mas.
