Interesting that they've stuck with sourceforge. I know SF stopped the malware bundling, and has changed hands a few times. But it doesn't seem to offer anything unique or compelling vs github, gitlab, etc, either. Edit: There is a stigma of sorts associated with staying there...many people interpret it as "this project is dead". The upside of moving might be bigger than you suspect.

  We also have the entire project on Github. Take a look: https://github.com/gabrielarchanjo/marvinproject https://github.com/gabrielarchanjo/marvinproject

    Yeah but why not move to GitHub instead of making it a copy?

      It's something under discussion, but we are too focused on the framework and project content now! I'm pretty sure there are advantages in this change and I think it's just a matter of time.

        What's there to discuss? Not in a sarcastic manner, but seriously what's SourceForge got that Github doesn't provide? Or is it a matter of just making time for that migration?

        And even then, it seems like 20 minutes worth of work. Not a whole lot to it.

        Guys, I got it! More importantly, I didn't post the framework release to make this a discussion "SourceForge vs Github". What's really matter is the project itself and not where it is hosted!

        That's pretty much the point though: the fact of it being on sourceforge distracts from the contents of the project itself and turns every conversation into a "sourceforge sucks" circle jerk. At this point, their reputation is so terrible that even if sourceforge was objectively better, it'd still be a good idea to move away from it.

By cross-platform, do you mean Java-based? Could I use Marvin within a node.js app?
- leirbagarc 10y ago
  Good you asked. We have MarvinJS on the way. It's a javascript port of the project. It's going to be released in the next weeks. Perhaps you can help in the beta test phase. What kind of image processing operations do you want to perform? Please, you and anyone else interested in using image processing in Javascript, send an e-mail to leirbag.arc@gmail.com
