We’re pleased to announce the release of KForge v0.17! KForge is an open source (GPL) suite of tools for for managing software and knowledge projects. Tools available currently include:

• Wikis and mailing lists (e.g. MoinMoin, Mailman).
• Content management systems and blogs (e.g. Joomla, WordPress, DAV).
• Version control systems (e.g. Subversion, Mercurial, Git).
• A project framework with mechanisms to plan and track work (e.g. Trac).
• Automatic project service configuration with single sign-on access control.

The KForge code is currently used in our KnowledgeForge service – which currently lists over 700 users associated with over 100 projects – from UK parliamentary transcripts to a big collection of open data on caving, from the [One Click Orgs](http://www.knowledgeforge.net/project/oneclickorgs/ ) project to works of 11th century legal scholar Ivo of Chartres. Many OKF projects use the service – such as CKAN, Open Shakespeare, Public Domain Works and Open Text Book.

The new release includes many important milestones, such as:

• New Git plugin
• New Joomla plugin
• New project ‘recent changes’ feed aggregation
• Support for using Mercurial services with Trac services
• Support for using Git services with Trac services
• Improved installer and install guide

For a full list of changes, see the announcement on the KForge Project blog.
