To All SourceForge.net Users: Topics:
1. Terms of Service changes 2. Feature removal notice: Document Manager and Task Manager 3. Donation service changes === 1. Terms of Service changes: In connection with ongoing improvements to SourceForge.net, we are in the process of updating our terms and conditions of use, https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sitelegal/wiki/Terms%20of%20Use. We believe that the new terms are better organized and simpler than the current terms. The new terms will not take effect until October 19, 2009, so there is ample time to correct errors, and we therefore encourage input from our users. Send all feedback to sfnet_...@corp.sourceforge.com with "ToS" as the message summary. 2. Feature removal notice: Document Manager and Task Manager: We are announcing the planned removal of a couple of aging tools we have on the site, Document Manager (DocMan) and Task Manager. Our Hosted Apps offerings of Trac, MediaWiki (for documentation), and TaskFreak! (tasks) replace these nicely. These two facilities will be removed from the site on October 19. We will make a dump of your data available at that time as well as offering a migration process to one of the Hosted Apps (https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Hosted%20Apps) facilities (Trac, MediaWiki [for docs], and TaskFreak! [tasks]). This data will also be portable. 3. Donation service changes: Finally, SourceForge.net has had a donation system in place so that projects could accept financial assistance from users who loved what the software developers did for them. We are stepping out of the middle of the process on October 12. Up to now, we have taken a small administrative fee for each donation. The new process will incur fees only from PayPal. This change in process also will no longer offer the projects and developers the ability to give a cut of a donation to charitable organizations. Updates regarding service status and our plans can be seen on our @sfnet_ops twitter feed or via the Site Status page at: http://sourceforge.net/sitestatus/ Feedback, questions or concerns may be directed to our support team as detailed at: http://sourceforge.net/support Best regards, Daniel Hinojosa, Sr. Manager Support, SourceForge.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SourceForge.net has made this mailing to you as a registered user of the SourceForge.net site to convey important information regarding your SourceForge.net account or your use of SourceForge.net services.
