So I have an open source project that I would like to promote and I want to create a project-site for it where I will host the documentation, etc. (preferably something that integrates with github for handling downloads, issues, etc). The project-site should be just like a typical.

Is there anything out-of-the-box for this or do I have to code it from scratch?

Thank you.

Why not use GitHub, BitBucket or SourceForge ?

I don't know if you've already coded a solution for this, but you may want to look at fossil. It allows you to have an integrated project page, wiki, bug tracking, and repository all in one. It'll even do zip files of the project for you, so people don't need fossil to download the source.

It will require you to have somewhere to host it though.

I would just use one of the simple "out of the box" website solutions like Wordpress. They are trivial to set up, can look pretty sleek, and will allow you to spend as much time working on your actual project as possible. Combine that with something like Github or Sourceforge and you end up with a fairly robust solution.
