Source: SourceForge
Date: 29 Jul 2004

Description:

SourceForge.net today reported that the two Microsoft projects released under the company's "Shared Source Initiative" are in the top 5% of active projects hosted on SourceForge.net. SourceForge.net is the collaborative development site founded to support and foster Open Source development projects. The site currently hosts more than 80,000 projects.

WiX and WTL are the first two projects that the company has released on SourceForge.net. The Windows installer XML (WiX) software, which allows developers to build installation packages for Windows products was posted on SourceForge.net in April, and has received nearly 100,000 downloads in the first 100 days of its posting. The Windows Template Library (WTL), which allows developers to create graphic interfaces for Windows programs, is also in its third month of posting, and has received 19,000 downloads -- placing both projects in the top 5% of active projects on the site.

The WiX Project can be accessed at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wix/ and the WTL Project can be accessed at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wtl/.
