Founded by Matthew Slater and Tim Anderson in Geneva 2008, it is now managed by a team of volunteers drawn from the users.

Community Forge offers its members periodic training in its platform, and also has a helpdesk site.
The organisation also built and hosts the accommodation network for SEListes, Route des SEL, and the site for the French association which provides the legally mandated insurance for French SELs, SELidaire. It also maintains one more site, which functions as a broad offers/wants mailing list, L'Auberge de la Solidarité.
