Dear BerliOS developers and users,

Links collection about software forges: status, criticism and new ideas

Published by lcanas on

During the last two years it is quite common to hear about new software forges, but I'm not going to talk about forges proliferation in this post, what I would to like to discuss is what the next step in collaborative development environments is. Thus in order to get the big picture I spent some hours looking for scientific and "informal" publications, now I think I have a good starting point and it would be great if you can offer feedback or even improve it.
