Distribute open source project via Visual Studio Team Services

Question

I use Visual Studio Team Services (visualstudio.com) for all of my source control. I would like to make a couple of my projects open source and grant public access to download the source. Does anyone know if there is a way to configure a Visual Studio Team Services project to facilitate this? Specifically, I would need a way to grant read access to everyone, but keep write access restricted.

Answer 1

At the time of writing, this is not possible, but I created a UserVoice request for it. So if you want it, go and vote for it.

Answer 2

I don't believe you can grant access to "everyone". I don't believe there is a concept of "everyone" in the hosted system.

Answer 3

As discerns says, this is not possible right now. CodePlex would be the thing to use for Open Source projects based on TFS.
