What is the website sourceforge.net about?

Question

I guess this is an online community for software development. But how does it work? Can I start a project over there? What does it take to start one? Are there any issues with developing collaboratively?

Answer 1

Yes, it is an online community that supports the development of opensource software. A number of really fine projects have come out of it. Yes you can start a project, since you are working on an open source project other developer may take your basic work and try to improve on it. Read the sourceforge terms of service for more info on the process. http://sourceforge.net/tos/tos.php
