Have you looked at
http://ur1.ca/ ? I've seen quite a few F/OSS people
using it.
ur1.ca is running lilURL which seems to be rather dead (last release
in 2005). Note that I'm talking about lilURL, not ur1.ca - I doubt
that ur1.ca is going anywhere in the near future.
I've nothing against ur1.ca but I think that we're leaning towards
setting up our own URL shortener so that it looks more like its from
Fedora QA and we don't have to worry about spam or throttling rules.
I'm all for more suggestions, though - I don't pretend to have found
every possible solution :)
Thanks,
