We at SourceForge have some ideas of where we would like to see Allura headed, and what we'd like to develop. Please see the PDF slides at https://www.dropbox.com/s/ed4ughnobwukaq1/Aug%202013%20-%20Allura%20-%20SourceForge.pdf I also have plain text below. Any thoughts on these ideas? Other features folks would like to develop in Allura?
Introduction and Apache Graduation ==== Allura is an open source implementation of a software "forge" * A web site that, * manages source code repositories, bug reports, * discussions, mailing lists, wiki pages, * blogs and more for any number of individual projects. * Written in Python * Extensible * via the notion of "Tools" based on Allura, * Themes, Authentication, and various pluggable APIs SourceForge.net is running an instance of Allura. Currently hosted at https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/ Allura is an Apache Incubator project and our next step is to complete graduation. Checkout more at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/allura.html  SourceForge Instance of Allura ==== All our teams have actively used the toolset for more than 2 years. [screenshot] Theme 1: Import/Sync Capabilities ==== Allura enables importing code, downloads, and more from other platforms, allowing for easy imports and exports. SourceForge is contributing to build this in the next quarter. * Google * Code, Wiki, Tickets * GitHub * Code, Wiki, Tickets * Trac * Bugzilla * JIRA Theme 2: User Profiles and Skills ==== Focus on a robust social layer. Discovering other interesting projects and people is key functionality. * Social Auth and Auth * Facebook * Twitter * LinkedIn * Google+ * Developer Skills * Languages * Tech Stack * User and Project Discovery Theme 3: Coding and Management Toolset ==== At the heart is always a best in class toolset for fork, merge, view, edit, manage code and more. * Coding toolset: fork/merge/view/edit/manage/etc. * Improve comment/discussion thread usability for all tools (pagination, UI) * Security improvements * SPF/DKIM checks, option to disallow private projects * SPAM capabilities * Performance - continue to move code browsing to "indexless" hitting SCM directly instead of indexing data into mongo. * More site admin functionality (e.g. user/project lookup, disable user) Join the Allura Community ==== At the heart of any successful open source project is the community. Reach out to us if you are interested in contributing to Allura. We would love to have you on-board!
