This is a repository of nearly 10,000 open source projects. You can add a project to be hosted, contribute changes to existing projects, or just download the latest, most bleeding edge version of the software. Mailing lists, bug tracking and more are available to developing software projects. One of the greatest strengths of Open Source software is that is frequently a labor of love, as some programmer scratches a particular itch to his or her satisfaction. However, this can also be its greatest weakness, as software that may be needed but simply doesn't appear on a coder's agenda will never be created.
Programmers can come and browse the offerings and even offer software for sale.
Their core web sites are showcases for the very best of open software. For past issues of Weekly Websights, please visit our archives.
