Temporarily closing free project registration

November 2, 2008

Hey everybody!

I know things have been pretty quiet. Man, it’s tough running a service like this on your own. Don’t worry though, things should start ramping up soon with all the things set in motion behind the scenes.

It’s funny too though because DevjaVu is getting more free signups than ever. It’s funny because free project registration requires an invite code. I know we have a public invite code that anybody can use, but it still means people are going out of their way to search for an invite code.

Unfortunately, we’re dealing with some growing pains and we’re getting a lot of heavy load on our servers from Subversion usage. We’ve got an interesting plan to solve this (which I shouldn’t talk about yet), but for now and because our registration process has been somewhat flaky, we’re going to turn off the invite code for free projects in the next 48 hours. This means you won’t be able to signup for new projects until our big re-release.

Now about that… basically we’re repositioning the DevjaVu service and so it’s going to be renamed and the pricing structure will change a bit. It’s also getting a brand spanking new look both on the site and the default project theme. And if things go as planned, we’ll be releasing with a completely open free project plan.

So yes, after a period of stagnation we have changes abound coming up. But for now, we’re closing free project registration within the next 48 hours. Sorry guys!

    Too sad! Just learned about the service now. Anyway, you seem really “pure awsome”, I think it our turn to let you kick ass ;)

    So does that mean that you’ll open the free registration on after the 48 hours?!

  3. Jeff Lindsay Says:

    No no, to be clear, it’s been closed. We closed it within 48 hours of this post.

    Damn, I’ve been searching 4 hours yesterday, tried Zoho and other project management tools and got I really need a functionally trac :(

    All I need is one private Repository and Trac.

    Could you please setup an account for me?! :)

    It’s a shame, I moved out from Assembla because it didn’t let me have private spaces, and now I can’t add another project with you guys… :(

    I hope you’re up soon.

    Hey,
    Was hoping that by subscribing to the blog I would be informed of when the free reg would open again but no joy yet :(

    Any chance of an invite please?
    I have a personal non profit project that I’d like to start.
    Its to help me get a job, I’d let any prospective employers pull my source from here to view it :)

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Furthermore, it strikes me as childish under the circumstances. ,
