Today we’re starting to roll out a whole new look for SourceForge.

As a quick refresher, SourceForge was acquired in 2016, and the very first thing we did after acquiring SourceForge two years ago was remove bundled installers from projects, a move universally applauded in the developer community. The new SourceForge team has been hard at work rolling out improvements which have included:

Now, we’re rolling out the redesigned SourceForge to all users. This UX and new logo is just the first step. We will be releasing further improvements and new SourceForge features throughout the year.

SourceForge hosts over 430,000 projects and has 3.7 million registered developers. Every day, SourceForge sees over a million visitors and serves 4.5 million software downloads.

One of SourceForge’s main strengths has always been our ability to empower open source software developers to reach a huge amount of potential users through our powerful discovery and distribution capabilities. We also provide detailed statistics and mailing lists to project admins. The new SourceForge significantly improves on not only the design, but the detail and granularity of the statistics we provide project admins with. The SourceForge Directory is also much easier to use, with all project categorization types now available as filters on the left side of the Directory pages. 2018 will see us further improve on these capabilities.

We’ve also created a GitHub Importer tool that will import your GitHub project to SourceForge and sync your GitHub project file releases on SourceForge so you can take advantage of the strengths of both platforms. We believe the open source community is always better served when there are multiple options for open source projects to live, and these options are not mutually exclusive.

You can keep up with new developments on the SourceForge blog, newsletter, Twitter, Facebook, and Google+.

The team at SourceForge is immensely passionate about open source software, and that has informed the new design as much as possible. The new look rolling out this week was a large project that took a lot of effort from a dedicated team, and will always be continually improved upon. We hope you enjoy it.
