All,

Although I am new to the open source movement, and hence do not want to overstep my bounds.... I would like to suggest that the Lazarus team consider using the FREE services of newly formed OpenAvenue.com (http://www.openave.com). OpenAvenue is headed up by former Borland employee (Jason Minard) and offers free SCM hosting of open source projects. OpenAvenue uses StarTeam (http://www.starbase.com) technology. I'm no CVS expert, but it seems to be a more advanced collaboration soluition then CVS and email.

Surf on over and check it out!

For a former Borlander, this is an odd thing to see, "Why should open-source not be as easy as using Visual Basic?".

Thanks for the link. I submitted a request to see what it's all about.

We use starbase web connect for a little bit of stuff at work "IT SUCKS",

linux cvs is still the best versioning system I have used.

1) Starbase is windows based completely - up to intergration with the windows explorer. For a Linux project, the use is rather limited. Openavenue says EXPLICITLY: 'If it can be hosted on NT, We'll host it.' It is also more aimed on companies that want to produce open source software.

2) Until now, it's all talk. They have nothing working yet, afaik. If you look at what they offer (openavenue, that is) they only offer FTP and HTTP space (plus scripting), with email adresses etc. No version management system is mentioned, except for CVSweb :-)

That rather limits the usability for Lazarus, IMHO.

Michael.
