Everyone,
SourceForge sent this email out a couple of days ago. Here are some
quotes that I believe are relevant to our project.
-----Forwarded Message-----
From: Mailer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: SOURCEFORGE.NET UPDATE: June 12, 2002
Date: 13 Jun 2002 06:41:05 -0700
<snip>
With your help, the Open Source Community continues to thrive. On
SF.NET, for example, we are registering over 750 new developers
and 75 new Open Source Projects daily.
<snip>
Upcoming features:
Generally, we don't pre-announce new features, but I wanted to
mention a few highly requested items that will be on-line in the
next 30 days
- Freshmeat.net Integration. Freshmeat.net is the world's largest
directory of Open Source software. In the next month it will be
possible to automatically submit file release information to
Freshmeat.net when a developer releases a new version of their code
on SourceForge.net. This will save a lot of time, particularly for
projects that release software 'early and often'
<snip>
- Spam filtering. The wave of spam continues to be a big problem
for anyone who has an e-mail address on the net. SourceForge.net,
due to its size is a easy target for spam and spammers. We already
do quite a bit to prevent unwanted email from SourceForge.net
mailing lists and SF.NET user e-mail addresses, but we will be
adding a new filtering tool which will help a great deal. We've
been using the filter internally here for a few months and it works
great. I'll give you more information before we roll it out
site-wide.
<snip>
3. SUPPORT UPDATE: SITE DOCUMENTATION WORK
<snip>
The SourceForge.net team is now seeking individuals interested in
participating in an organized effort to translate SourceForge.net
site materials to their native language. To participate, you must
be fluent in both English and some other written language used in
the world today. Further, it should be understood that participants
will need to be able to volunteer two to three hours each week,
minimum, until their translation has been completed. We are
interested in filling volunteer positions for both translators and
those interested in reviewing translated materials for quality
assurance purposes.
<snip>
If you meet these criteria and are interested in contributing to
this exciting project, please contact Jacob Moorman, Quality of
Service Manager for SourceForge.net, at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your
message should include a list of your language skills, contact
information, and your interest in this project. (i.e. do you want to
do translation work or quality assurance work?) Once your message
has been received, a member of the SourceForge.net team will contact
you to make the necessary arrangements.
