This looks pretty nice, but for private projects how do users know how secure their work is?

Our site is secure enough for most projects, but not secure enough for someone that worries about security. We can offer a more secure option in the future.

At the momment only trac and svn server has ssl enabled.

So.... how do you guys make money at this?

Free service the draw, while the full service is the profit?

didn't work for the underpants gnomes.

not knocking it, it's a great idea, I HATE installing Trac, and Subversion 1.4 has caused me nothing but headache, just want to know if you guys will be around a while is all.

I agree with you. User management for Trac / Subversion has always been a pain. My goal was to simplify that.

The free version will always be available, and we will continue to invest in it. However, we will soon launch extensions that will provide the tools that corporate projects need to recruit and manage distributed developers, including a developer directory, time tracking, billing, and payment services.

So, we will need to support and expand our free online services in order to market the commercial package, and in order to attract good developers and give them experience with this tool set.

We make good money doing full-service development, and we use assembla.com for all of our own projects. We have dozens of developers using these tools on high speed development projects, so that gives us another strong incentive to maintain reliability.

Assembla has no more free accounts.

Well, they do have free accounts, they just have to be public workspaces.
,

Assembla no more providing FREE private Project's Service. FREE service is now free to public to access your projects.

I found private free service https://opensvn.csie.org. But ... it very slow for use.

i know it's old but... beanstalkapp.com offers free private projects,repositories are smaller than on assembla however
