If, like me you spend a lot of time on SourceForge and wish you could harness the SF functionality in your own development environment then this is for you. SourceForge has released SourceForge Enterprise Edition 4.3.

This is a VMWare Virtual Appliance that allows for up to 15 free users. I haven’t put it to use yet, but I will be implementing a test of it (hopefully) sometime this summer at work to see how well it meets our development, project and bug-tracking needs.

If it is all it promises to be this may be one of the most useful tools for small-team distributed development ever.
