SourceForge http://www.sf.net/ - aka SF - is an ambitious attempt to provide open source projects with freely available source code , bug, and request management, mailing list support, software distribution, and more. The effort has over 20,000 projects at this time.

A number of As of mid August, 2001 the massive collaborative project support site at SourceForge [L1 ]/[L2 ] has (at least) 250 projects in (or using) Tcl and Tcl/Tk. Some stay in the top downloads, or high-activity category. This page is started because so many projects have been moving to SF.

Browse these projects from their trove list at:

Free to OpenSource developers, and development collaborators, SourceForge provides:

  • Apache/PHP web support with CGIs
  • SSH based shell access
  • FreeBSD and multi-version Linux compile resources
  • Web and mailing list feedback/discussions
  • CVS repository with SSH-based update, public access and CVSweb

  • [L37 ][L38 ] LinuDent ''Dental Front Office Application'

etc.
