Dear SourceForge.net User,

Greetings and thanks for reading the latest news from SourceForge.net.
The last month has been particularly exciting for me, coming into
working more directly with SourceForge.net, and I’m excited about the
path that is laid out before us.

Since you last heard from us, we’ve added two new developers on to the
project, and are in the process of finalizing another tech support
person as well. We’re are committed to following through on the
promises that we made, giving the community the support that it needs
to develop great open source code — and we’re also planning some
(good) surprises for the future, so keep your eyes peeled.

As I write this, we are in the process of syncing up the last of the
new CVS servers; our Site Status page (http://sf.net/docs/A04/)
update gives you the latest information, but I’m very happy to say that
those machines will be coming online very soon. As well, we are
finalizing launch of pervasive search (http://sf.net/subscription.php).
Lastly, with a few bugs still outstanding, the new statistics code is
very close to launching as well. I believe that these features will be
a great boon to our developers and users of the site, and as someone who
does both, I’m eagerly awaiting them.

As well, we’ve also been fixing some project permissions system issues
that have caused usability problems in the past. If you’ve encountered
those issues before, I think you’ll be happy with the fixes.

Lastly, the team has been doing a lot of work and thinking in regards
to the usability of SourceForge.net; specifically the UI. As we
continue to move forward on this work, we’ll be updating you, our users,
in regards to that work — but I’m excited to see the site moving forward.

Jeff-

When the SF.net team sends out a site-wide email, we sometimes see
replies that look like this: “Hey! I didn’t ask to be on this list! You
spammer. I hate you! I hate your dog! (insert other colorful phrases
here).” The truth is, when you registered on SourceForge.net there was a
check box that said “Receive Site-wide updates, low volume.” You left it
checked when you submitted the registration form, hence you are
receiving this email. We send these updates every 4 to 6 weeks, so it
truly is low volume. However if you want off, this is not a problem.
