Over the past few months a number of people (including myself) worked together with Korby Parnell [3], GotDotNet Guru, to create CodePlex, a new Web-based collaborative development application including Release Management, Work Item Tracking, Source Code Dissemination, Wiki-based Project Team Communications, Project Forums and News Feed Aggregation. Everything you need to successfully run your community project. Some of the projects listed already:
- Managed Stack Explorer is a lightweight tool that provides a quick and easy way to monitor .NET 2.0 managed processes and their stacks.
- Team Foundation Server Administration Tool allows a Team Foundation Server administrator to quickly add and modify user permissions to all three platforms utilized by TFS
- MSBuild Extras – Toolkit for .NET 1.1 “MSBee” is an addition to MSBuild that allows developers to build managed applications in Visual Studio 2005 that target .NET 1.1.
- NUnitLite is a lightweight version of NUnit suitable for embedding right in the test project. According to Charlie Pool [4] NUnit 3.0 will most probably be planned and developed on the platform as well.
CodePlex is a place to create new projects to share with your fellow developers around the world, join others who have already started their own project, or simply use the applications on this site and provide feedback. I am more than happy to announce the first Public Beta!
