Subject: SourceXchange News


As of March, 2001, SourceXchange has officially closed its virtual doors.
While a unique idea and one that we feel really adhered more closely to
the Open Source ideal than any other work-for-hire site ever did, it
simply did not achieve the volume of business necessary to maintain the
site and evolve the offering to meet the needs of sponsors and developers.

Thank you to the hundreds of participants on our various projects,
and to the sponsors who were willing to take a risk on a new model (and
who, by and large, got good results).  CollabNet is now focusing its full
attention on its collaborative software development product called
SourceCast.

Happy Hacking!
