Featured Editor's Review for August
For our August "Editor's Pick" Project of the Month we selected Alfresco Audit Analysis and Reporting (A.A.A.R.), a useful Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution. Alfresco Audit Analysis and Reporting extracts, stores, and queries audit data together with document and folder information at a very detailed level, with the goal to be easy and useful for the end-user. To make the data more user-friendly, the data is published in reports in a variety of formats (PDF, Microsoft Excel, CSV, etc.), and stored directly in Alfresco as static documents, organized in folders, versioned, authorized, and published. A.A.A.R. also provides a powerful set of analytics tools, with a customizable and interactive user console composed of dashboards, reports, and free analytics.

SourceForge Strengthens Ad Blocking Program
Since 1999, SourceForge has provided a range of free services to the Open Source software development community including Git SCM, ticketing, and download delivery. One way that these services are funded is through advertising. Our advertising consist of direct-sold ads which undergo review by our staff, and indirect ads from external ad networks like Google AdX. From time to time we receive issue reports from our users regarding indirect ad content. We're pleased to announce changes to our BlockThis initiative to make the process for reporting problem ads clearer, to rapidly process actionable complaints, and a continuous improvement cycle to consider changes to our advertising standards to better meet community expectations.
Noting that this program involves all SourceForge users, we'd love to hear from you onour Community Voice forum.

How to Get Your Project Noticed on SourceForge
Since the elements of your SourceForge project page are so important, we've made a few changes that make it easier for you to update your pages and get your project noticed. For example, we've moved the Features edit boxes from the Summary page to the main admin page alongside all the other admin features. We've added tooltips to several admin fields that explain what the fields are intended for. And, finally, we simplified the text for the Icon field and made the upload link more prominent.
Introducing SourceForge's New Markdown Text Editor
Writing text on SourceForge has become much easier with our new markdown text editor. The new text editor includes an easy-to-use toolbar which inserts formatting and live syntax highlighting, so you can see what you're doing while you edit. This makes it simpler to format your text when writing a ticket, editing a wiki page, or commenting on a post on SourceForge.
