BerliOS - BerliOS The BerliOS project was founded by FOKUS, a Fraunhofer society institute, to coordinate the different interest groups in the field of open source software (OSS) and to assume a neutral coordinator function. The target groups of BerliOS are developers and users of open source software on the one side and OSS-related companies on the other. BerliOS is funded by the German government (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Arbeit). It consists of several subprojects: Developer, a hosting platform for open source projects similar to SourceForge and GNU Savannah DocsWell, a database for open source related documentation SourceWell, a news service for open source projects SourceLines, a "best practice" database for successful open source projects SourceBiz, a list of open source companies DevCounter, a database of open source.
GNU Savannah - project. The Savannah project is now a Free Software hosting site similar to sourceforge. savannah.gnu.org is a central point for development, distribution and maintenance of GNU Software. savannah.nongnu.org is a central point for development, distribution and maintenance of Free Software.

OpenFacts - OpenFacts The BerliOS OpenFacts Project is a free knowledge database for the collaborative creation of software documentation. Open Source Software (OSS) is increasingly used by governments and companies. The idea of software which is collaboratively developed and can be distributed for free works in practice, and big IT players are jumping on the bandwagon: Sun (OpenOffice.org), AOL (Mozilla web browser) and IBM (Linux solution) support OSS development. But many OSS applications lack complete and accurate documentation. So-called HOWTOs explain precisely how certain problems in the world of Linux, FreeBSD & Co. can be solved; these are often maintained by single individuals, however, and many of them have not been updated for years. In January 2003, the Wikipedia project, an open content encyclopedia, announced its 100,000th article. How.
