I realize now why Github is so awesome. For a site named Sourceforge, it sure takes a lot of searching to find the source code of whatever project you're looking at.

With Github, the source is the most important part of the site as a whole, and it shows.

Just spent about 10 minutes searching for how to get the source code for a project and I'm utterly unable to find it. Care to enlighten us all? Do you need to be logged in?

It may depend on the project, but here's one positive example. I went to the home page, then clicked on one of the featured projects. I've used Chicken of the VNC before, so there I went: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/

Next, click on 'Develop.' On the new page under Repositories > CVS, there is a link to 'browse code': http://cotvnc.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cotvnc/

Agreed, it is definitely not GitHub.

Thanks! It definitely seems to depend on the project. If there's no repository configured then you can't browse the source. I made the mistake of assuming everything would have a repository though. Some projects (e.g. 7zip) seem to rely on you going to a separate home page and finding the source there instead.

Wow, just experienced how difficult it is to find source on SF.net. Whoever made this change might be running shareware sites like download.cnet.com in his/her past life.
