Google hosting open source projects
I have been thinking about moving my source code to a hosting service like SourceForge or other *Forge site as I would then be able to use issue management systems for my projects. I have used the CVSDude’s Subversion services for now but now that I found out that Google has a service for hosting open source projects I switched to use it.
I have already created a project for the Car Manager application and I have imported the latest source code to Google’s Subversion repository. The project home page’s user interface is very simple and doesn’t feel as “heavy” as SourceForge’s UI, which is a good thing. The issue management system looks very simple but it contains bunch of AJAX code that makes it very easy and also very powerful to use. I’m still going to make a separate project page to my blog for screenshots and downloads. I’m using the Google’s service only for version control and managing project issues.
