imho. most people download through maven, so the downloading interface is irrelevant. and even looking at it: googlecode has a downloads tab, github has a big button on the front page - little difference.
the only other relevant part is the wiki - imho they are pretty much the same on github and googlecode. nice thing about gc is that it has the sidebar feature in the wiki, but its not a gamechanger. the big win in github is the administration. currently this is a huge timesink for the maintainers because every committer has to be explicitly added to the project. with gc this remains the same, with github there are pull requests and merge queue interface which are a cheap alternative for those who only want to commit once. -igor On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 10:21 PM, tetsuo <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm just saying that Google Code's interface is much cleaner and > friendlier, which helps a lot with projects' adoption (you don't get a > . > > And it supports Mercurial, which is pretty much the same as git in > terms of cloning and merging changes back. > > > On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 5:17 PM, Martin Grigorov <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 7:37 PM, tetsuo <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> GitHub may be a little better for developers, but I think it's quite >>> intimidating to users (people who just want to easily download the >>> binaries and read the documentation). >>> >>> Google Code (thus, Apache extras) is much more friendly to >>> non-committer-users. >>> >>> But well, if one is fine with that randomly structured wicketstuff >>> wiki site, github shouldn't be a problem...
