#1212 New
Below is some text for a new home page for the admin. I think something with the icon on the far left, the text next to that in a box (somewhat like discussion) and links on the far right (again like discussion) might work. The point would be to make it so that people who've just created a project get some direction on how to proceed.
SourceForge beta projects come with a number of Tools, which can be configured and adjusted to your needs.
Project Setup
The first thing to do to setup your project is to create a solid description, so folks coming to your page can figure out what the project is all about. You'll then want to input information about the project, and we'll make sure all this relevant information gets added to the SourceForge sourceforge project directory.
- Update Description
- Update MetaData
Wikis
You can create documentation, post proposed feature descriptions, and discuss these shared documents.
- Add Page
- View Wiki
Code
Git/svn/hg will help you keep track of code changes over time. A repository has already been created, checkout, add files and upload code.
- Checkout repo
- View source
Tickets
With the SourceForge tracker you can keep track of items of work that need to be done. You can create one or more trackers for bugs, enhancements, tasks, that will help you plan and manage your development process.
- Create Ticket
- Edit Milestones
- View Tickets
Downloads
Upload releases, track who is downloading your project around the world, and use the largest free, managed, global mirror network to distribute your files.
- Upload Release
- View Releases
Forums
To use the forums, create a couple of forums, post introductory messages, and check out the spam controll/post moderation options.
