Developers
The Developer portal provides developers of Open Source
Software with various services enabling joint coordinated software
development, presentation and deployment between people who live and work in different geographical
areas.
These services include:
- Web space for project specific websites
- Database supporting dynamic web content
- Discussion forums for developers and users
- Bug, support, feature, and patch management
- Task management
- Project documentation management and Wiki
- Surveys and developer rating
- Project news
- SCM repositories for versioning of code
- FTP space for software distribution
- File Release System
- Screenshots
- Mailing lists with archives supporting group communication
- Searchable project directory
The goal is also to provide financial support for developers through
sponsored projects. A developer has the possibility of being paid for their
existing project or taking part in paid projects financed by companies. In
both cases the resulting software will be Open Source Software (OSS). Specific
licensing of software is left up to the individual projects, however an
Open Source License must be used.
Project offers and ideas can be presented and viewed on the
SourceAgency
portal, which enables creation of enterprise and developer consortiums, online negotiation and discussion of
project content, till to conduct and manage projects.
Developers are also able to announce their latest software releases on
the SourceWell
portal. These announcements are not limited to software developed using the BerliOS platform.
BerliOS' DevCounter provides a service where OSS Developers can register
themselves and provide a description of their skills. This directory supports creation of
software developer consortiums as well as it enables directed search of people with defined
know-how.
BerliOS enables all registered and active developers (members of a project) to become a blogger.
