This platform is an initiative of Silex Labs, a non profit organization, which aims to bring together and unite open and free community projects.
The projects you’ll find here usually have an independent showcase website, and use this platform as a collaborative tool.

From a user perspective, it’s easy to sign in – eventually use an existing google, twitter or facebook account. You can then follow community activities, and hopefully contribute. It’s possible to  subscribe and be notified of whatever is important to you, such as a particular discussion group, forum or blog…

This community platform may host for each project :

• working groups and sub groups with forums and shared documents
• a user guide, tutorials, technical documentation, etc…
• an exchange platform
• a blog

You’ll only need a single sign on to get connected to the following projects :

• Silex Labs
  Open source projects
• Silex
  Live web creation
• amfPHP
  Simple remoting for web applications
• Labs
  Section dedicated to smaller projects we believe in, it is a kind incubator

Since Silex Labs is french, most of these projects have been started by french people, organizations or companies, but they have reached an international audience and are driven by people of different countries.
