Part I: About SourceForge.net
SourceForge.net Website
SourceForge.net is a great platform for Open Source Programmers to host and share their work with the rest of the world. SourceForge provides developers with server space, CVS services, file mirroring services and logging of project related data. It also provides web hosting service to the projects hosted by SourceForge.
The public folder on the server space provided by SourceForge is non-writable by the website, which often confuses developers and dissuades them from installing complex websites, built upon systems such as Drupal & Joomla!. However, a little understanding of the hosting system ensures that you can freely install any system on the hosting server, provided you abide by the conditions laid down by SourceForge.
