For me, options are: 1. Migrate to Google code: Pros: very simple UI, fast, git repo, issue tracker (no category, only labels), wiki pages, file release management. Can use google groups for discussions. Cons: since Google code is not related to Google+ or mobile, the service might be terminated unexpectedly someday. That's the fate of Google services that do not make money.
2. Migrate to github: Pros: fast, nice git repo management. Cons: no issue traker, no mailing list, no other things our projects will need. Only the git repo is good. 3. Keep sourceforge and move the git repos to github. Pros: still having the issue trackers and mailing lists, and we can use better git code browser and others. Cons: I'm not sure if this violates the user agreement of sf.net. IIRC, it has some restrictions on this. The most applicable option seems to be #1, but after seeing what happens to Google Reader, Google Code Search, and other dead services, I'm not that sure. Since Chromium is using Google Code, I guess Google code will not be terminated, but who knows? Just my two cents On Thu, Apr 18, 2013 at 8:20 AM, Andrej N.
