Free Subversion hosting with Unfuddle.com
ColdFusionAs some of you know I used to be an advocate of CVSdude for subversion hosting on small projects. It was simple to setup, had decent management, and had a free basic account. It appears that these days they have done away with their free service all together, and their starter package is $5.99/mth as of the time of this entry. While that is certainly affordable for any project worth doing, I like to shop around where I can and save pennies where I can. In doing so, I came across Unfuddle.com, which we have found to be a great service! (EDIT: After writing this entry, I was contacted by Guy Marion of CVSDude to inform me that they do indeed have a free service with a 2MB limit, in addition to free hosting for open source projects and non-profits, but it is no longer published on the home page.)
The project we are working on is tiny in disk space terms and the 15MB limit for their free account was not an issue for us, even including the Mach-II and ColdSpring frameworks we have under source control as well. They have a ticket management system, which we haven't used yet, but it appears quite comparable to Trac, and a really nice comfortable control panel (screenshot) for your project. Even the smallest projects, subversion is an invaluable tool and with free services such as this, there is no excuse to not use it!
Yesterday Unfuddle released its new Mac OS widget that makes my job even easier.
My suggestion is that everyone should go and open a free Unfuddle account and then download the free Mac OS widget.
Unfuddle is a great help to our industry.
