Kenai Users: Welcome to EmForge Portal!
February 8, 2010 9:44 AM
As you probably know, Oracle decided to do not support Kenai.com
project, provided by Sun as project hosting service for open-source project.
I will be happy if Kenai users will found EmForge Portal useful for
them and will be happy to help in migration process
Features provided for Open-Source projects
For open-source projects EmForge Portal provided:
- Totally Free Services;
- Own "workspace" for each project with
own set of pages;
- You can assign own domain-name to this workspace,
own theme (Liferay themes used) and own logo - so, it will looks
like your own site, provided wide range of tools for end-users;
- Powerful, but simple to use Task-Management to
plan your activities for project;
-
Time-Tracking tools and Burndown
chart to check the progress of project;
-
Wiki to share information;
-
Blog to publish project related news;
-
Forum for communication with end-users, as well as
discussing different issues inside the team;
Blog you currently reading is part of such workspace for EmForge Portal project.
It is very easy to
Start New Project
.
EmForge Portal - Open Source project
EmForge Portal itself - open-source project. We just
started few months ago and already providing wide set of features. We
hope to provide much more in the nearest months - and, if you like -
