Google Code Hosting is here

Just a few days after I grew tired of managing my own subversion repository and gave myself the treat of DevGuard’s hosting services (which are quite nice so far), Google launches Googe Code Hosting.

As usual with Google, this is a no-fuzz, no-frills webpage that allows to sign up and create a project with a very basic offering (Wiki, Issue tracker & Subversion) as long as they choose an open source license and understand that all they publish will be freely available for the world (and Google).

I think it looks lika a promising alternative to Sourceforge and others, suitable for the smaller projects where you just want a little place to save your stuff and registering a new project at Sourceforge is too much work.

I will be using it myself ASAP, and promise to get back if it’s better or worse than expected.

Give it a shot!
