Why did you place the project on SourceForge.net? == The Arianne project was moved to SourceForge 10 years ago in January 2000. There are little records left of the pre SourceForge days. This is proof that moving to SourceForge was a good decision because there has been no ~~dataloss~~data loss ever since. Today we are still very happy with this decision. == 25. How has SourceForge.net helped your project succeed? == SourceForge provides a number of very useful tools for developing and sharing free software: version control systems, a very easy to use bug and feature tracker, web hosting, mailing lists, forums, and the file release system. Just to name the most important ones. All those things ~~just~~ work out of the box and are very reliable. If we had to setup and maintain installations of these services ourselves, we would have a lot less time to concentrate on our project. And it is obvious that this communication related infrastructure plays a key role in both coordinating development and getting the word out to our users. == 26. The number one benefit of using SourceForge.net is == Line 233 ⟶ 232: == Feedback == (That's all the POTM questions for you, but there's one more thing we'd like to ask. How are we doing? You've got our ear, so let us know how we can make SourceForge the best it can be. Go ahead, be honest. We can take it!) I am concerned about those ads asking for personal information when trying to download software. For people with little technical background those input formulas look like something required by us / SourceForge.▼ * More support for file releases of umbrella projects like Arianne. Most people are interested in Stendhal. So we like to have the Stendhal related files show up prominently in the green section above the folder structure. This basically means we can only do releases of Marauroa and Marboard exactly one day before a Stendhal release. In the past it was possible to use the "touch" command as workaround to set the file date into the past, but that does not work anymore. There are ideatorrent entries on this already: https://sourceforge.net/apps/ideatorrent/sourceforge/ideatorrent/idea/478/ and perhaps https://sourceforge.net/apps/ideatorrent/sourceforge/ideatorrent/idea/477/ ▲* IThe amsoftware ~~concerned~~download ~~about~~pages ~~those~~sometimes contain ads ~~asking~~which ask for personal information ~~when trying to download software~~. For people with little technical background those input formulas look like something required by us / SourceForge, and it worries us.
