CodePlex backed now by a foundation

The popular, Microsoft-hosted open-source code sharing site CodePlex (running on Team Foundation Server, by the way) has gotten a new foundation to support the site. Just recently formed, the CodePlex Foundation will "enable the exchange of code and understanding among software companies and open source communities".

The CodePlex open-source sharing site is available at www.codeplex.com, and the CodePlex Foundation at www.codeplex.org. Slightly misleading, but the nice FAQ gives you answers about the differences.
