It has always been our intention to make the freelender.org code open source, and to make distributed development more easy. Today, both those goals were realised as we put into practice our message of sharing.
Many of the web's most successful projects are open source, for example the Firefox web browser and Open Office, the free almost-clone of Microsoft Office. Open source code is available for anyone to view, meaning complete transparency of the project. This can result in faster development times, and more robust code as the team now includes anyone who wants to be involved. It also means that the code can be re-used in other projects at no financial cost.
The project code is now hosted on assembla.com.

If you'd like to join the freelender development team, maybe to pick up some Ruby on Rails experience for your CV, or just because you want to support the project, contact us and let us know.
Meanwhile, feel free to browse the source code, and let us know if we could be doing anything better.
