Novell Forge features + communities, akin to foundries on SourceForge.net, which exist + for the purpose of facilitating collaboration and information + exchange about certain technologies or solutions. At Miguel's + request, we have created a Mono community on Novell Forge that + is administered by Miguel. This community, located at + http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/community/?monocomm, + provides a resource for interaction and collaboration on Mono + and associated solutions. Each community has the ability to + provide forums, mailing lists, FAQs, news, documentation, + surveys, sample code, and links to related applications. The + Mono community has been created for anyone interested in Mono + to use, and the exact set of features offered at the community + is determined by Miguel. + + Any individual or group that wishes to provide Mono-based solutions in + an open source fashion is encouraged to host their solution on the + Novell Forge website, free of charge. Once the project is hosted on + Novell Forge, you can send Miguel an e-mail requesting that your project + be associated with the Mono project. This promotes a symbiotic + relationship where the growth of Mono applications helps to improve + Mono, and the growth of Mono likewise helps to increase the visibility + and usefulness of your applications. + +* Creating an Account + + A Novell Forge account is required in order to create a project on + Novell Forge as well as for certain levels of participation within a + community like the Mono community.

Click on the + "create my Novell Forge account" link, near the top left of the page. + + <li>A form should be filled in with the correct information for you. + If you like, choose an avatar and then submit the form. + + <li>Confirm the creation of your account. + </ul> + + + You should be good to go at this point.
