Google to compete with SourceForge
Google launched Google Code: Project Hosting yesterday with support for open source projects. Here are some of the key features:
- Uses Subversion for source control (yea!!)
- Allows browsing of subversion repository in web browser.
- Uses Google Groups for forum communication.
- Custom Issue Tracker with limited feature set.
- Project cannot have same name as existing SourceForge project.
- Project must be open source.
- Notification of issue status change (couldn’t get this to work)
Things it is missing right now:
- Web hosting
- More robust issue tracker
- Downloads of releases
- Can’t change subversion password to password of your choice.
- Domain name alias
- Wiki
Also, I noticed that the subversion access if very slow. Much slower than subversion access on SourceForge.
You can find more information on their FAQ or you can create a project here.
