Hi folks/webmaster@php.net addressees, I'm trying to gauge interest from the PHP community in a sourceforge/java.net type of site for PHP developers. A PHPForge. I've setup a -beta- version of GForge here: http://phpforge.osdir.com for this reason but, would like to hear from folks on whether this would be of interest before blowing a gasket on setting it up to production capability. Long winded explanation and feedback sought here: http://osdir.com/Article3732.phtml
This doesn't make much sense to me. Why would people use PHPForge over sourceforge?
Ruby and Java people like using rubyforge and java.net respectively. If PHP folks don't want to do something similar then that's cool. I just want to find out. Sourceforge serves the need for a completely unstructured
place to dump projects
I think it boils down to wanting to have a focused vs unstructured place. Again, if not c'est la vie. -- Steve Mallett http://steve.osdir.com FooMail: steve@fooworks.com FooWorkVoice: 506.871.6406
