Shared Source Modules for Sitecore CMS
The global Sitecore community of developers and partners continues to build leading edge shared source modules for a variety of solutions. These are available to Sitecore Customers free of charge. They are not Sitecore products, and are therefore not supported by Sitecore or included in its Support Agreements.
Some of the more popular Modules are described here. These are available for download on the Sitecore Developer Network, the same place as the vibrant developer community Forum.
