Ask HN: Corporate software reuse assets database?

3 pointsengtech2 comments

Are there any OSS projects for building a database of metadata about software reuse assets?

We're in a work environment with multiple revision control systems, and I'm looking for a way for the different groups to be aware of what the other groups have created.

If one doesn't exist this sounds like something I may want to dig my teeth into.

This honestly sounds like a massive need for enterprises. You could even directly incorporate a test suite into the function storage, to "prove" a function erm functions.

There are a lot of paid options...like Rational Asset Manager, Oracle eAM etc. The only OSS option that I have seen so far is http://www.fedora-commons.org/.
