But this does not mean it's going to slink away. Far from it.
Sourceforge has been rewritten, from the ground up, with improvements across-the-board from the Wiki to issue tracking, from code management to discussion.
But that's not all. Sourceforge is making a renewed play for the corporate market, and has its first big win in Adobe, which has moved its open source development to Open@Adobe. (The illustration is from the main page.)
In his blog post announcing the change Dave McAllister of Adobe praised Sourceforge's continued relevance, and that is indeed something worth celebrating.
I have appeared critical of Sourceforge at times over the years, but the success of open source made rival efforts inevitable. A corporate forge is now a vital corporate asset, which is why so many companies have moved their forges inside.
But it's also supposed to be a shared connection with a real community, and that's a message Sourceforge is delivering with the new tools. How many do you think will hear it?
More should.
