We knew there was room in the marketplace for a hosted tools vendor who treated small teams with just as much care and consideration as a big enterprise IT department. But we were all a bit taken aback by the tremendous response we've received for ProjectLocker Lite. For those of you asking to take part in an official ProjectLocker affiliate program, you may yet get your wish later this summer. In the meantime, we thought we'd try something simple to whet your appetites, so we're having a Referral Raffle.

You can now get entries into our drawing for a brand new iPhone from Apple simply by telling your friends and fellow developers about ProjectLocker. When your friends sign up from our website, make sure they enter your email address into the "Referral Source" field at the bottom of the page during checkout. Whoever has the most referrals as of midnight EST August 31, 2008 will be awarded an iPhone, courtesy of ProjectLocker. So, if you love our service, go spread the word -- you may just strike mobile gold.

Setting up Subversion in moments instead of days

A recent entry at O'Reilly's OnLamp blog, entitled "Subversion for BSD With All the Bells and Whistles" described the time and effort that an experienced system administrator like Jeff Palmer had to take to install and configure a local instance of Subversion from scratch. In speaking with Jeff, he told me that it took up 2 days to make that first install, although now, he's probably cut the process down to 1.5 to 2 hours. In addition, he spends roughly an hour a week on maintanence.

A time savings, to be sure. But, a developer team could have access to a comparable instance of Subversion literally within moments of signing up from our website.

In addition to near instantaneous provisioning for most clients, ProjectLocker's user interfaces simplify the process of team and user management to such a degree that, for many of our clients, those tasks can be assigned to non-technical managers, freeing your more technical team members to concentrate on your most stubborn technical challenges.

It also doesn't take into account the time & materials required to both implement and maintain a backup & recovery strategy comparable to the one provided by ProjectLocker for all of our services.

Or the time saved on your development efforts by the speed of a ProjectLocker restore should such a disaster occur.

Or the flexibility of downloading backups on demand.

Or the convenience of receiving commit notifications in either Twitter or Jabber.

Or ProjectLocker's proprietary Subversion enhancements, like our Analytics tool.

In short, the time and expense your system administrators can save every day by choosing ProjectLocker is just the tip of our software quality iceberg.

Just something to consider.
