Microsoft updates CodePlex development portal

Microsoft has revamped its fledgling CodePlex community development portal, implementing a handful of new features prioritized by CodePlex users through the Web site's issue-tracking and feedback page.

Among the changes is a new feature allowing visitors to view source code directly on the site, without downloading files to their PCs.

The simplified, online source-code viewing was the single most-requested feature in CodePlex's issue tracker, the mechanism that CodePlex's developers are using to collect feedback. CodePlex users are invited to vote on the issues they consider most critical.
