CollabNet, whose products enable software developers to collaborate, has set up an online community for CollabNet and Subversion users.

The openCollabNet online community is based on “Web 2.0 principles” and is built around the Subversion version control system and CollabNet’s product offerings. CollabNet defines Web 2.0 principles as the interactivity of tools, such as using Wikis, to enable joint collaboration on a document or project.

With the online community, users can share innovations and best practices. They receive access to community resources, product extensions, discussion forums, technical content and support.

CollabNet Enterprise Edition 4.5.1 also provides access to openCollabNet. Customers can participate in development of extensions to CollabNet and try new functionality.

Free versions of CollabNet Enterprise Edition and CollabNet Subversion are available as part of the new program. The free download of CollabNet Enterprise includes a license for as many as 15 users.

CollabNet is the primary corporate sponsor of the open source Subversion project. CollabNet Subverison is a version of the product that has been compiled, tested and certified by the company.
