Jeff said he was on a DSL, which I think would make for a suboptimal public-use 
repository. My servers are dedicated, but I assume that your LUG has a 
professional setup as well if they're making a devel forge out of it, so I 
think your place is as good as mine. The things that we need (that I assume you 
can provide) are:

* Code repository
* Bugzilla-style problem tracker
* Web site

We need user-level authentication, particularly for tracking who does what. 
We'll probably need the ability to create multiple administrators for when one 
goes on vacation, or whatever. And we'll likely need to be able to give 
multiple users permission to edit the web site. I envision using the web site 
not just for communication with the public, but also for communication between 
ourselves in situations where posting to the mailing list wouldn't be 
appropriate.

For our code repository, I know a lot about CVS, and I know more than enough to 
make me hate it. But I still use it for almost everything. Grrrrr.. I enough 
enough about subversion to set it up, but I know very little about svn 
administration. All the little nuances, like automatically tagging .png files 
as binary, that I currently do with cvs are beyond me with svn. I really like 
that it versions meta-information about files, though, like moving and copying. 
I could get used to it once I get better with it. File access is a bit slower 
because it goes over HTTP, though.
