The following applications are due to be deprecated, replaced by
high-quality Open Source applications we have in our Hosted Apps offering:

  • TaskManager will be replaced by TaskFreak!, dotProject and Trac (tickets).
  • DocManager will be replaced by MediaWiki and Trac (wiki).
  • Discussion Forums will be replaced by phpBB.
  • Diary and Notes will be replaced by WordPress.

Some DNS checks on marketplace.sourceforge.net shows that a company called ExactTarget is running the business. I previously tried to change my e-mail address in their “Profile Center” to me@privacy.net but on Thursday I got another of the mails. This time I think I managed to unsubscribe. Unsurprisingly, I’m not the only one annoyed by this venture from SourceForge.
