[edit] Comments posted to their FAQ page

I just want to replicate these here in case they disappear later. Today (2006-02-09), FAQ page has four user submitted comments. Here they are verbatim:

1. Should the technology be microsoft-oriented, like .Net / Com / SQL Server, or can it be anything? Like a Linux Bash scripts? (posted by "vermorel" on Jan 7)
2. There are no technology requirements, only the three requirements above. (posted by "jwanagel" on Jan 27)
3. I can name about 3 project the guys at Microsoft have put up here that don't meet that 3rd requirement. The fourth should state that you have to use TFS! I hate that some Microosft teams think this is just a release site! We want to see the interim code! (posted by "z2bass" on Jan 27)
4. You mean like the /CodePlex project? :-p (posted by "tomhollander" on Fri)

For the first three comments, they were probably posted this year (2007), and for the last comment, who's date is just "Fri", I guess is either today Feb 9th 2007 (since today is a Friday), or last Friday. Gronky 00:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clarifications to above

The projects referenced in the third comment do include the source code, the complaint was that there were not beta versions of the source code released, only the final version of the source code was released. The last comment means that the software running the CodePlex site itself is not open source, but that is the same as with all open source hosting sites (e.g. SourceForge, Google Code Hosting, Tigris, etc). jwanagel 09:02, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

"All" is too strong. It's true that codes behind SourceForge is not open source, but GForge, which is behind RubyForge for example, certainly is. Sanxiyn 07:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
