CodePlex is an open source project hosting website from Microsoft. It allows shared development of open source software. Its features include wiki pages, source control based on Mercurial, Subversion or Team Foundation Server, discussion forums, issue tracking, project tagging, RSS support, statistics, and releases. Since January 22, 2010, Mercurial distributed source control system is supported as well,[1] and this support has been enhanced.[2][3]

While Codeplex encompasses a wide variety of projects, including SQL, WPF and Windows Forms-related projects, major activities center around the .NET framework, including ASP.NET, and Microsoft's intranet collaboration server, SharePoint. The most prominent and used project that was born inside CodePlex, the AJAX Control Toolkit is a joint project between the community and Microsoft.

History

The initial beta launched in May 2006, with the official release a month later in June. A new version of the website is released every three weeks adding additional features and updates. It has accumulated 13,022 projects as of January 2, 2010.

The CodePlex Foundation provided oversight for CodePlex.com, but that Foundation is now renamed to "OuterCurve Foundation" as of 2010.[4]
