Re-adding CodePlex entry based requirements update

CodePlex updated their project requirements page to say project requirement is compliance with the open source definition. Re-adding entry. -- jwanagel 10:54, 22 Feb 2007 (UTC)

Is xmlbasedsrs a prominent project?

This project seems dead from the 2003. You can call it prominent? The only traffic in its mailing list is spam: http://xmlbasedsrs.tigris.org/ds/viewForums.do

Launchpad forums?

As far as I know the Launchpad doesn't offer forum functionality. They have Answers which is a knowledge base type thing.

New column to feature table: Knowledge base

Some hosting facilities provide a knowledge base. For example Lauchpad has Answers.

What Determines Inclusion/Exclusion of Products?

New to Wikipedia here, what criteria do y'all use to decide whether or not to include a specific product? I'm surprised Perforce is not listed in this article. If that's intentional, why?

Entries here need to be notable and have their own article. See WP:NOTABILITY. Greenman (talk) 18:50, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is incorrect. Entries in this list do not need to have their own article. To quote from WP:NOTABILITY: "These guidelines only outline how suitable a topic is for its own article or list. They do not limit the content of an article or list" (Emphasis in original). Notability can be used as a criterion for inclusion in some kinds of list, the example given being lists of a school's alumni, where obviously it is appropriate.

GitHub in Iran and Cuba

According to this page,

"GitHub Enterprise Server may not be sold to, exported, or re-exported to any country listed in Country Group E:1 in Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR or to the Crimea region of Ukraine. This list currently contains Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria, but is subject to change."

However, the situation is different with Cloud services:

"With respect to Iran, however, GitHub now has a license from the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to provide cloud services to developers located or otherwise resident in that country. GitHub cloud services, both free and paid, are also generally available to developers located in Cuba."

Hence developers in Iran and Cuba can use GitHub cloud services.
