[edit] Can someone explain this?
I've cut this out, can anyone explain what the significant changes where?
A controversy erupted amongst open-source developers in February 2002 when VA significantly modified the terms and conditions of use. A number of developers unsubscribed and moved their projects to other sites such as the GNU Savannah site. Many, however, felt unable to move because of their dependence upon certain features in SourceForge (notably the compile farm).

- According to Savannah, "The GForge project is a continuation of the SourceForge project, which was close-sourced by VA Linux in 2001."[1]
- GForge itself (and Savane too) should probably have their own pages on Wikipedia, as I think the GForge name is used for both the proprietary and the Free versions. Interestingly, the only reference I can find to it on Wikipedia is at project management software, which lists gforge.org as proprietary. Ojw 18:41, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] List of Projects hosted on SourceForge
How about this sort of a list. Might be kind of interesting. Or does this sort of list in fact already exist? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hexii (talk • contribs) 17:03, 2 August 2004 (UTC)
- Current statistics from SourceForge:
- Registered Projects: 100,955
- Registered Users: 1,083,958
- I believe this list would be too large to be practical. There are also literally more than 100 clones of Tetris alone. SourceForge front page does give lists of most active and most downloaded projects but these vary over time.85.164.107.7 17:52, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- According to Google, we have about 372 wikipedia pages about sourceforge projects -- I was just thinking of a category for them, and came here to see if someone had already tried.
- Of course, each of those programs will be in about 20 categories already: free software, windows software, mac software, web browsers, programs released in 1996, etc... Ojw 18:31, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] SourceForge dead?
Is anyone else getting only a banner ad when going to sf.net? I am using Firefox 1.0.6 on Windows XP SP2. --pile0nadestalk | contribs 08:16, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- Looks like invalid HTML rather than a dead website. W3C [2] lists hundreds of errors with the page, though it's just started working again, so maybe there was a particular banner ad which broke it... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ojw (talk • contribs) 18:48, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Project activity
What does the SourceForge "project activity" (most of the time around 99.xx percent for many projects) mean? --Abdull 21:40, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I've split this from SourceForge and moved the talk in here. Chris Cunningham 20:23, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
