[okfn-discuss] comparison of project hosting including knowledgeforge

Wed Feb 3 12:21:25 UTC 2010

I think it would definitely be worth trying to contact Andrew Dalke
directly and talk to him more.

One thing to emphasize is that unlike many of the other products
considered, a lot of effort goes into making KForge good software in
its own right (rather than being heavily tied to the one specific
install such as knowledgeforge.net). In particular its easy to install
KForge yourself so that you don't have to use our particular KForge
service (http://knowledgeforge.net). As such the number of users
Knowledgeforge.net is likely to be lower because people can run their
own autonomous instance!

I also think it would be worth trying to start getting better stats on
exactly how many deployed instances are out there :)

Regards,

Rufus
