Freecode Freezeup 62

Posted by Unknown Lamer from the long-live-freshmeat dept.
LeadSongDog (1120683) writes The venerable Freecode site has today gone static, blaming low traffic. No new content is being accepted, but they continue to serve existing content. They recommend projects consider moving to Sourceforge. Probably obvious, but Freecode/SourceForge/Slashdot share a corporate parent.

    How will visiting sourceforge help me see summaries of new software releases? Guess I'm confused.

    Sourceforge is where open source projects go to die. That's the only summary you need.

    Sad to see it go, it's been a staple for me, for many years.

    I don't see much value in a static version of Freecode - I mean, it has reference value, but why bother? I still see the function itself as a valuable resource; I don't particularly care for sourceforge.net or its layout. How about they open source the Freecode code, so that someone else can consider using it.
