On my own machine. I just brought a new core 2 duo with 4 gig and would only be limited by my ISPs upload speed in that respect. Projects I build might be of interest to others and I would like an easy, and inexpensive, way to allow other programmers to work on projects, extend and, or, modify them. I thought of allowing Remote access to the Studio itself, password protected somehow, but then it seemed expensive using any of the Microsoft Team Suite of Products so thought of the SCM like CodePlex or something where the source could be downloaded, modified and ReLoaded for review, testing and implementation. Actually, a Remote development environment would be the best bet if I could figure a way to do it. All manner of solutions come to mind but I'm not sure where to start in that arena. I thought of putting Visual Studio in a Password protected folder, if there is such a thing in Windows, and giving temporary passwords out but then there is the problem of versioning etc. . .

Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it, grin.
Thanks big guys.

Agreed with Ken, do you want to host the source code repository on your local machine and let people access it from outside, or do you want a hosted solution where someone else deals with all the security and hosting issues?

Hi Guys:
Is there a decent Source Code Manager out there that would work with Visual Studio Projects? Or, would a Source Code Manager just hold files which I would have to extract from the VS Project and put in a Code Directory and reload into the project after modification?
I read some cautionary notes on SourceSafe so am starting to look around.
I would like to be able to allow 1 or 2 other remote programmers to work on joint projects. Of course, accessibility is the main consideration, oh ya, not too many greenbacks too. I'm guessing someone has used various SCMs from time to time and have something I can research further.
