Hi!

I am preparing a blog post about ABF.
Does our ABF have _all_ same features as ABF io? Below is the text I compiled 
from ABF description, please have a look and confirm.
Thanks.

Another thing, do we plan to have a front ABF page as well? same as where 
abf.io has the description of itself?

Cheers

So what is that ABF at all?

Automated Build Farm is a distributed environment to build distributions, 
supporting all steps from managing source code to creating ISO images.

<strong>Project Management</strong>


There are 3 possible levels of privileges for project members: read-only, 
read/write, and administration level. A project member can designate a real 
user or a group of developers. Both projects and groups may have unlimited 
number of members (every of which can be in turn a user or a group).

Git Wiki
Project wiki is based on Gollum — open wiki engine developed by GitHub. In 
fact, this is a full-function git repository which can be cloned, used offline, 
modified and pushed back to server, as if it were a usual source code. 
Convenient web editor allows to modify wiki online. Now information about your 
project will be never lost and will be always available for modifications in 
any editor! 
Note: for private projects, wiki is accessible by project team only. Wiki of a 
public project can be read by everyone.

Lightweight task tracker
Every project may use a lightweight and simple task tracker. Labels and 
assignments will allow not to get lost in tasks, while convenient interface 
will allow to concentrate on a real work, not filling huge forms.

<strong>Source code</strong>


Source code online
We have focused on making access to the source code easy and transparent. Every 
file pushed to git repository will instantly become available for online 
access, so you can share it with other developers even if they don't use Git. 
Home page of every project contains list of project files, as well as 
information about recent changes. You can immediately see the most important 
part of your project: the code.

File history
Every file in git repository has history of modifications which can be easily 
looked through using ABF to see who and when modified the file and which 
changes were introduced by particular commits.

File blame
Looking for the author of a particular code fragment? Just open the file blame 
to see who modified that fragment for the last time and in which commit.

Online editor
Need to quickly edit some file? Want to fix syntax error from your mobile 
phone? No problem. We provide you with a simple editor for every file in git 
repository.

<strong>Package building</strong>


Personal repository
Personal repository provides you with an easy way to distribute your software 
among great number of Linux users by means of standard ways of software 
delivery. ABF will take care of package dependencies from both main 
repositories or extra and personal ones. Published a new package version? Users 
will be automatically notified about available update.

Package Building
ABF provides you with power to build projects for large variety of 
distributions and hardware platforms. No additional efforts from your side!

Task monitoring
It is easy to get lost in large amount of tasks, but smart monitoring will 
focus your attention on those tasks that really matter for you.
