That means we (or someone) has to run the server. With an external host we don;t have to worry about that. And we wouldn't get some of the nice features on offer like:
* review structure
* "follow" functionality
* ... etc
I'd caution against that and link to an external host from eda.org myself (but that's just my opinion)

All can be logic protected for checkins

In terms of clients, that's fine

Yes, all can do that

I'm against that (again, personally speaking!), things like $Revision:$ are better *not* in the code, you can find it out via the version control system which is where that sort of information belongs. What's the use-case that makes this a hard requirement?
