Microsoft Launches ‘CodePlex,’ a New Code Repository Site
By
CodePlex is not the name for a new wing of the ever-expanding Microsoft campus headquarters. Instead, it is Microsoft’s newest code-repository site, aimed especially at shared- and open-source programmers. The CodePlex site opened yesterday and is worth the look if you are into coding.
On May 15, Microsoft went live with the beta version of its CodePlex site. The site, which is coded in C# and is built on top of a hosted version of the Microsoft Team Foundation Server platform, includes support for wiki-based team communication, to RSS feed aggregation, to forums. Microsoft’s plan is to take the CodePlex site “more formally live” in late June or early July, said Bill Hilf, director of Microsoft’s platform strategy.
