* WHERE : why not sourceforge.net ? they provide a lot of tools.

Not only do they not provide Subversion as Matthias mentioned, a lot of 
people have had a lot of problems there that ultimately stem from 
sourceforge not scaling well.  For example, last I heard public CVS access 
is delayed by a day -- you check out what was checked in yesterday, not 
what was checked in today.  That causes huge confusion.

* HOW : I know that on sourceforge we are able to manage sevral branch
mainly  -stable and -devel. So I suggest to release 6.2.6 as stable
branch and doing some devel stuff based on it.

First we need a bug-fixed release. In the long term it probably makes sense 
to keep 6.2.* as bug-fixes only, and do any major work on a new branch 
(e.g. 6.3).  I'm just conditioned by CVS to hate branches; SVN may break 
me of that.
