GForge 4.0 Released

Posted by timothy on from the connecting-pieces dept.

jaaron writes "Ever wanted your own personal SourceForge? If so, then be sure to check out GForge which just released version 4.0. GForge is a fork of the original GPL'd SourceForge code and like sf.net provides forums, mailing lists, revision control via CVS or Subversion (yes, Subversion!), issue trackers and much more for any number of teams and projects."

    Sometimes, I think some things really don't need to have a large public offering such as this. Don't get me wrong - I think it's great that someone is doing this. I just think that, really now, who, other than huge developers who most likely have something similar to this, is really going to use this?

    Umm GForge is a fork of the old source forge code, they haven't touched CVS or subversion.

    GForge is a project management system. The reason it was forked was because VA took the Source Forge code base closed source in order to try and make a buck.

    Sourceforge took their code closed source so there was no choice but to fork the code otherwise no open development could take place.

    If you want use the offical sourceforge code then you must pay for it, otherwise you use GForge. Don't confuse the Sourceforge site with the Sourceforge code. Gforge is used to create your own version of the sourceforge site.
