The Defense Information Systems Agency launched a Defense Department Web site on Jan. 23 that programmers already have used to collaborate online for developing open-source software, delivering its first software package this week, DISA’s chief technology officer said on Friday.

The collaborative open source software development site, called Forge.mil (although the site has a .com domain), is modeled on the widely used SourceForge open source Web site, which provides Defense software engineers with the environment and tools to create Defense software for engineering applications in weeks, rather than the years it usually takes, David Mihelcic, the agency’s CTO, told the monthly meeting of the Washington Chapter of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association.
