Need a few suggestions

Not sure if this was the right place to ask this, but of all the places I
know this place has the bestest exposure in both quality and quantity.

Many times I am hit with a "That'd be a cool to have utility". I sit and
start coding it, only to give it up later because I don't have my own
hosting space.

I know there's gotdotnet, but I've heard plenty of criticism about it. Then
there's sourceforge, which is .. umm .. I really don't know how good or how
bad, except I have downloaded quite a bit of stuff from sourceforge.

If I want to broadcast my work and make it available for the world, what is
a good way to go about it??

Thank ye !! :P and sorry for the specifically non C# thing - except hey what
I do will probably be done in C# LOL.

Take care,

Hi Sahil,
I used SourceForge twice and it was amazing BUT not for just hosting
space.
It gives you a whole project management and collabration server functions,
it gives you CVS and forums and trackers (like bug tracker, changes tracker)
and role-based project members and hosting space which is proj_name.sf.net
and they offer also a build firm for C++ and linux projects (i didnt try
that).

Also they have a system which with it you can post some work for other
interested developers and someone will take the job he contacts you and you
agree then add him to the project memebers as developer and he can start
working immediatly with all given permissions

They offer alot of licensing modes (GPL, GNU, ..........) but in all cases i
think you have to share the source code for public download

so choosing them would save you from spending money on hosting free tools.

BTW: I'm not affiliated with SourceForge.net or any of thier partneners and
this post is my soul opinion.

Sahil,

Search these dotNet newsgroups using Google for NAK or Nick (I have the idea
that Google does not use the sender anymore as search item in the new beta
version) , especially the language.vb newsgroup.

Nick (as his name is) has been very busy with this question in the dotNet
newsgroups (I thought he did it as well in the General newsgroup)

Another one I really like is The CodeProject
(http://www.thecodeproject.com). If you open the source you can write up
some desc of the project with key samples and post the zip archive (see the
HowTo post). Also very popular so your code will be seen. You can even
post closed source and write up how to use it, etc. (however that is less
popular, as it is the "codeproject".) They don't do CVS or anything, so it
is not geared toward community dev like sourceforge. Naturally, you could
post your project at both sites.
