Forging an independent Skype developer community

July 15, 2005 07:52 AM

Topics: Developer Zone

SkypeForge.com is just a domain for now. A door. What should be on the other side? What can a developer community do to support itself?

SourceForge is the inspiration, of course. Others of note include Novell Forge, operated by Novell for open source developers and MamboForge.net, operated by the Mambo developer community.

Share code, designs, references, tutorials. Enable conversation via wiki, IRC, blog, listserv, bug tracker and feature request service.

This may fail to ignite. Developers may not have the numbers, the passion, or the commercial self interest.

Is SourceForge the right model? What other approaches may work or fit better? Association or membership communities? Professional guilds?
