Canadian content management vendor Simian Systems Inc released SiteForge - the most user-friendly open source collaborative development platform available.. SiteForge helps open source developers and distributed development teams centralize project development, source code access, issue tracking, documentation, and product releases. What sets SiteForge apart from other, comparable software project management tools such as SourceForge, or GForge is its ease-of-use and straightforward installation process.

"We aim to do for the collaborative development industry what SugarCRM is doing for customer relationship management. That is, to reinvigorate the industry with the introduction of a modern, high-quality open source solution," says John Luxford, President and Chief Developer of Simian Systems. "With the growing need for open source and distributed development in more industries, it's time to make the tools of the trade available to everyone."

Some of the highlights of SiteForge are that it allows for an unlimited number of projects to be created and managed within a single copy, solving your software project management needs once and for all and provides an intuitive web-based user interface for all project management tasks

SiteForge is available for download at www.sitelliteforge.com/siteforge.
