[Q-e-developers] Change in the number of qe-forge users

[Layla Martin-Samos]

Filippo, we have just received the price ...  too much!!!! gforge advanced
server has, for instance, the possiblity of controlling by web the
read/write access to repository directories (cvs, svn and git), you can
search on the sources, you can customize your project home page (very
easy), there is a wiki for each project (very easy to use). boh!
Fusionforge is a project that is un-coordinated!!! Many features are not
working (such as the statistics) and when Erica sent to fusionforge guys
some bugfixed ... they change their repository for version 5.1 and not for
the next 5.2 ...we have the feeling that fusionforge is becoming a mess.
There is an other possibility which migrating to gforge community edition
(free), however some of the features that I previously mentioned are not
included.

lets see! thank you for the link! we will take a look
