Source code tools and practices
wmclemens 1 post
Hi, I am a potential buyer still trying to understand all the aspects of odesk. Most things are explained pretty thoroughly on the site. However, I can't seem to find a consolidated, comprehensive discussion of the tools on odesk and the practices of the odesk community for managing source code. Does the site offer a tool for storing code? Does that storage mechanism have rights management? For securing it to make sure developers aren't misappropriating? If there is not a technical tool as part of odesk, what are the best practices of the community?
It actually seems odd to me that this topic is not more prominent . . . maybe I'm just missing it on the site so if there's already a resource, could someone just point me to it? Thanks very much.

Every Team Room has its own SVN repository. Everyone in the team has access to everything in the repository. But all work done as part of an assignment is property of the buyer per the oDesk Marketplace User Agreement.
It's not set up for complex rights management, but it is used by many buyers. I'm sure more advanced tools are available from third party sources elsewhere online.
