Forge-Specific Notes*
1. Codehaus: Calculated number of projects on CodeHaus by using the project directory to list projects alphabetically, then summing the counts (total 288). Codehaus does not have a project directory so it was somewhat difficult to survey a variety of projects.
2. Google Code: Does have a project search and directory, but too large to use to calculate manually the number of hosted projects.
3. Java.Net: Merged with Project Kenai.
4. JavaForge: Projects can choose which items to make available. Here I have coded "yes" for any features that I saw in a consistent location on a subset of project pages, but these widgets (for example tracker details) are located on different screens for different projects.
5. Objectweb: Has a middleware focus
6. Origo: does not have a directory, so I used the "recent projects" featured on home page to check out what projects were hosted there.
7. OSOR.eu: Forge includes federated sites hosted elsewhere, but I did not include these in my project counts.
8. Sarovar: Sarovar is based in India.
9. Tigris: Calculated number of projects from project directory (by categories). There may be duplicates if projects are listed in more than one category.
