They provide disk space for project files, mailing lists, and a project web page. As you've noted, there are innumerable projects of myriad varieties. Freshmeat just provides listing services (unless things have changed recently). Sourceforge provides hosting. A few years ago, I participated by writing a users' guide for a project called Gimp-Print (now being renamed to Gutenprint). I liked using the software but noted that it lacked documentation for the user. I also knew the project lead since we were employed by the same company. I wrote the users' guide and contributed it to the project using the GNU Free Documentation License. At that time, my proverbial itch was thus scratched. I still like and use the software frequently, but alas I have not had time to properly update the manual. You would be more than welcome to return if you like :-) -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@alum.mit.edu> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@uunet.uu.net Project lead for Gimp Print -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
