Google Code
Sarah Perez on July 27th, 2006
Today Google announced the release of their new open-source project code hosting space, simply called "Google Code." The service, designed to compete with SourceForge, has a simple interface, although whether this makes it more or less user-friendly than SourceForge is still up for debate. According to the FAQ, Google Code will offer the following:
- Project workspaces with simple membership controls
- Version control via Subversion
- Issue tracking
- Mailing lists at groups.google.com
The reliability and stability of the Google servers as compared to SourceForge makes Google Code an attractive new offering for developers.

Subversion should rock.
Learning CVS was the most difficult part of managing code at Sourceforge, I always feel as if I should put it on my resume.
