or Darcs or Monotone or ... Personally, I've avoided Bazaar, but they
all give ways for developers to collaborate easily. Even mailing diffs
beats waiting for some repository in a far-away land to synchronise
with your machine and the poor permission structure of some services.
If you have collaborators, ask them what they need. If you don't yet,
leave the way open to users of other systems by producing tarballs and
patches regularly.

Yes. Some can upload to any old web or ftp space (tla can, for example),
so you don't need the networked machine to run the software. It can be
really dumb if you want, like an ISP's free space.
Hope that helps,
