SourceForge RSS

6 May 2003

SourceForge is providing RSS feeds for project content. The feeds available depend upon the SourceForge services the project uses, but do include file releases. For an example, take a look at the Zempt feeds.

Does your business develop software? How about creating a project weblog that allows developers to discuss features and issues. Then create an RSS feed for your bug-tracking database and integrate the feed into the project blog. This will create a great way for people in your company to keep track of your development progress. Zempt even has a feed for CVS commits. Using this, you can easily track exactly what’s being developed.

Your Prioritization Problem Is a Strategy Problem
Jul 23: Most teams struggle with prioritization because they're trying to optimize for everything at once. The real problem isn't having too many options—it's not having a clear strategy to choose between them. Without strategy, every decision feels equally important. With strategy, most decisions become obvious.
