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. -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf-project.org/ _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
