KForge provisions project services on-demand and controls access with a robust, role-based, single sign-on access controller.
Project services include version control systems (e.g. Git, Mercurial, Subversion); project frameworks with mechanisms to plan and track work (e.g. Trac); wikis and mailing lists (e.g. MoinMoin, Mailman); and content management systems and blogs (e.g. Joomla, Wordpress).
KForge provides a complete Web interface for review and administration of project members and services, as well as a fully developed plugin system so that new kinds of services can be added easily.
The KForge software application was conceived by the Open Knowledge Foundation to power their KnowledgeForge service. The KForge project was started in early 2005 in a partnership with the Appropriate Software Foundation. The code consists of a core domain model of projects, people, members, and services, with plugins to adapt external applications for project services.
