SourceForge.net is a free service provided to the Open Source community by VA Software Corporation. They have a document about who they are and what SourceForge.net is all about. As Fire development was opened up to a wider audience of developers, Eric Peyton (the original author) decided to move the Fire development resources from the original epicware.com site to SourceForge in August of 2001. This site provides the Fire developers with the tools they need to remotely collaborate on the development of this software including mailing lists, software distribution, and an end-user website. It also provides an overview of the Fire development effort.
