Evolvis – Make it into a project!
evolvis stems from the latin verb “evolvere” and means “you evolve”. “Evolution” as well traces back to this word.
evolvis.org is a free project platform for free software projects, the publicly available instance of the Evolvis platform that used to be provided by tarent solutions GmbH and is currently transitioning to a private individual as owner. Here, developers and other project participants can find many things needed for developing a free software project:
source code management, bug/issue tracking, discussion board (forum), task tracking, release and document management, downloads and more. (Mailing lists are, unfortunately, currently unavailable because Python has reached end of life.)
For the avoidance of doubt, let it be spelled out explicitly:
Evolvis is an open source developing and sharing platform
and thus not an online content sharing service
provider per Directive 52016PC0593.
EvolvisForge helps you manage the entire development life cycle
EvolvisForge has tools to help your team collaborate, like message forums and mailing lists; tools to create and control access to git. EvolvisForge automatically creates a repository and controls access to it depending on the role-based access control settings of the project.
Additional Features:
- Manage File Releases.
- Document Management.
- News announcements.
- Issue tracking with "unlimited" numbers of categories, text fields, etc.
- Task management.
- A powerful plugin system to add new features.
