just an opinion from TechRepublic:
It's time to go away, Sourceforge
That once king of app hosting, Sourceforge, has lost its crown and its way. Jack Wallen discusses why Sourceforge is now Scourgeforge.

Hi Paul,
Haven't read the article, but it's likely to be an opinion with which I disagree. I've never had a problem with SourceForge (so far), although I do prefer a publisher's own website whenever available, which is why I posted Audacity's own site. But thanks for sending along the article — I'll give it a read. Regards, Joe

Hi Paul,
In light of your comment above, I think you'll be interested in knowing about an email that  I received today from the SourceForge folks saying this (there's no copyright on the material, so it's fine to post here):
SourceForge Has New Owners
The first action was to eliminate the DevShare program, which delivered installer bundles as part of the download for participating projects. "We want to restore our reputation as a trusted home for open source software, and this was a clear first step towards that," Abbott said. "We're more interested in doing the right thing than making an extra short-term profit. As we move forward, we will be focusing on the needs of our developers and visitors by building out site features and establishing community trust." Plans for the near future include full https support for SourceForge and Slashdot, and "a lot more changes we think developers and end-users will embrace," he said. Stay tuned for future announcements.
More details at the link above. Regards, Joe

Software

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
