Hi all, When we released Community 2.0, we introduced a new group named Code Share . At this stage, we are offering our users to reference their open source projects within a catalogue in our Community. Users are asked to provide a limited number of info about their projects as we didn't want to make it too heavy to reference their projects. A short user manual is available here . Users can tag their projects in the way they prefer and, keep in mind that community content is Google indexed. Taking such an approach, it gives the freedom to our users to have their projects repos hosted on their preferred platform and can use the full power of what these different hosted services offer today. I do not believe we should start building our own hosted services as we will never be able to "compete" neither with Bitbucket nor with GitHub or any other platform available today on the market. It's also a good way for us (Progress) to avoid entering in a debate about what would be the best possible hosted services 
as some prefer GitHub and others BitBucket. This is rather simple/simplistic as an approach but at least it enables users to start referencing in a single place (our Communty) their open source projects and other users could then find these when searching the Community. We probably haven't promoted it well enough but it's available and waiting for you guys to start adding your good stuff in it and who knows? Maybe in the future we'll add more functionality such as the Community search engine searching GitHub/BitBucket repos and expose results sets within the Community search results.
