Collaborative software development models, inspired by the open source community, are also being considered for development and deployment of business applications. We describe current work and future directions towards a hosted model to support collaboration during software development. We submit that such a platform can enable rapid application development, facilitate globally located virtual teams spanning locations to work as a single unit, and also encourage re-use, especially of technical frameworks. Going forward, we foresee extending such environments to providing an end-to-end development process accessible to globally distributed virtual teams.
