Origo is an open, modular and extensible software development, management and distribution platform. Aimed at software developers, Origo provides a set of services for combining, integrating and facilitating the development process over a network. Origo provides services like source control management, issue tracking, statistics, release hosting, wiki, blog and features for communicating and networking with other developers. An extensive API can be used to integrate Origo into other applications and development processes.
Origo was conceived as a research project of the Software Engineering chair at ETH Zürich, and has resulted in several theses. Recently ownership was transferred into an ETH spinoff, Oriact.
Released in August 2007, the platform as of August 2009 hosts 3,000 projects with over 6,500 developers worldwide.
