What exactly was the reason for acquiring SourceForge? Was it that it came along with Slashdot?
I don't have much interest in what happens to it, but there might be space for a well-run, well-designed source control/issue service.
One thing that SF has is also email lists, doesn't it? Does Github have anything comparable? Or are lists even necessary anymore if you have a quality issue fracker?
- loganabbott 11y agoWe saw a great opportunity in SourceForge: tens of thousands of projects and developers, and a very sizable user base. The problem was that they were being largely ignored by the previous owners. Done right, I think SourceForge can become extremely successful again. Same goes for Slashdot.
