I just started to think about building something to support Source.zone. There are basically two options: build or buy?

Should I decide to build, I could hack together quickly a webapp using my power trio (Cocoon, Spring and Hibernate), but then I'd have to maintain it in my spare time, and I would need to find some (cheap) hosting provider with the necessary support.

On the “buy” side, I currently see two candidates:

Confluence

Looks great and being Java-based and provided with full source code, could be hacked into doing just what we need. But then again I would have to find the time to hack it and a place to host it.

Jotspot

No source, but from its feature list it looks like a perfect fit. And it's a hosted service, which is great since we can have it up and running in no time.

For a start, I've requested a beta account on Jotspot. If you have any suggestions, please leave a comment.
