Apart from being inflammatory, has anyone considered code.google.com (GC) as
a solution? To me amongst all code hosting sites (launchpad, sourceforge,
bitbucket, github) GC provides the simplest and the most effective
interface. There is also practically very less learning curve on GC
comparing to other alternatives. This is a great advantage for the newcomers
to the project. For instance SF has all the useful code management
functionalities but their interface is really not inviting --at least to my
eyes. It takes a while also before the site content are indexed by crawlers.
On the negative side, GC doesn't offer git. However the source could be
externally linked like in the sympy project.
What do you think? Does simplicity really counts on the decision or the
functionality beats simplicity?
