Project Maintenance and Services at SourceForge

SourceForge provides an assortment of very useful services to the users using its site for project development and some of them are listed below.

1. Compile Farm
The Compile Farm gives developers access to a number of different hosts that may be used for the compiling and testing of the code. These hosts all use different platforms for testing the softwares. Currently there are 12 hosts running 6 different operating systems and 5 different hardware profiles. For more information just check http://sourceforge.net/docs/compile_farm

2. CVS (Concurrent Versioning System)
It also provides with CVS while allowing you to centrally store your code. You are also provided with your own CVS space called Repository.

3. Publicity
Another huge advantage of hosting your projects at this site is publicity and loads of exposure that it is bound to get.

And yet a lot of services that I didn’t mention are there to help you out so just go on and try it out.
