I don't think other scipy projects are doing anything special here; numpy
and scipy never stopped using sourceforge. If you wanted to lead the way on
setting up some simple download hosting on S3 or whatever for scipy
projects then you could probably get numfocus to pay the hosting costs.
Alternatively I'd consider Google code before going back to sourceforge -
IME the service is similar overall but without sourceforge's horror of an
interface.

Scikit-learn uses sourceforge.
Scikits-image doesn't provide download links on the website (except
for windows binary, hosted on someone's webpage), but uses pipy's
hosting services.
I think sourceforge is OK.

Github has removed the ability to host binaries. They've removed this 
feature without any apparent notification except on their blog saying 
"it's gone today". And the suggested alternative is to use paid services.

I had planned to complete our set of 1.2.0 binaries with a Python 3.2 
from Russell Owen in the near future. So much for that.
Any thoughts? Do we go back to Sourceforge for our download hosting? 
Is anyone familiar with any other services? Do we try to piggy-back on 
what other scipy projects are doing?
