David, I would have suggested BMC DN if it also had tools to help people develop Open Source projects. However the last time I looked, BMC DN offered nothing in the way of a source control system, a project Wiki, mailing lists for the project or any other set of features that would be helpful to maintain and/or grow a software project.
However, it has been a while since I last looked at BMC DN. Has any of that changed? Or is it mostly a forum based web site that supports attachments? Maybe if BMC could use a product like RKM (Remedy Knowledge Management) for it's customers to contribute (and search the contents of) then I think it would be more helpful than the forum based web site. ( Just a thought. ) -- Carey Matthew Black BMC Remedy AR System Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap.... Pick two. P.S. I sure hope that BMC does not use a forums centric methodology for collaboration on code development.
