The "sourceforge" package was first debianised on Wed, 22 Nov 2000 22:06:35 +0100 by Roland Mas . Work has been constant since then, and the package evolved a great deal. It began to work, for a start, and then it evolved into GForge, what with the more recent versions of the Sourceforge software having been made proprietary. GForge itself is Copyright © 2000-2008 by a fair number of people, including: Tim Perdue Roland Mas <99.roland.mas@aist.enst.fr> Christian Bayle Tom Copeland Guillaume Smet Francisco Gimeno Sung Kim Alain Peyrat Past Members of the development team include: Reinhard Spisser Ryan T.
