@shadowknob That's not a bad idea. I'd assume you'd want to see the stream of new releases of your followed projects in there?

@powersoffour Not to worry. All URLs from freshmeat.net will indefinitely redirect to their counterparts at freecode.com. ^PL

@markpbeckman None if we can help it. We obviously kept our previous domain and all requests are being redirected to their new locations.
freshmeat has been renamed to Freecode. Check out this article from our founder for some background information. freecode.com/articles/whats-…
Nice write-up about our API by Allen Tipper (@Akerasi) on Programmable Web: blog.programmableweb.com/201…
We've just deployed SSL enforcement on all account related pages (finally!) – Let us know if you run into any problems please.

Just as a quick reminder, freshmeat.net will undergo database maintenance starting 30 minutes from now. Updates will be posted here.
We will undergo database host maintenance on Sat, Mar 19 at 5AM UTC, which will take about an hour. In your timezone: http://j.mp/fhVkLD
